Section in Klosters

The easily accessible ski slopes accommodate skiers of all levels, yet there are plenty more activities, such as tobogganing, skating, tennis and snowboarding to keep you busy. Klosters consists of seven districts which are Klosters Platz, Klosters Dorf, Selfranga, Aeuja, Monbiel, Serneus and Mezzaselva. Klosters Platz is the most popular of them all, being where most of the events and activities take place and where the tourist office is located. Klosters Dorf is situated 2km to the north and is smaller and quieter than its neighbouring district. Both districts are conveniently on the Landquart–Davos train line, and are also linked by town buses, which are free with the resort’s Guest Card.

Tobogganing

Tobogganing

Klosters is also very well known for its tobogganing - an activity for children and adults alike - and local legend has it that tobogganing was invented here. The four toboggan runs available (Gotschna, Madrisa, Alpenrosli, Aeuja) are free of charge - you just have to pay for toboggan rentals. With its four toboggan runs, Klosters offers fun for the whole family. You can opt for individual rides on the mountain trains, half day or full day rides.

Engadin Bad Scuol

Engadin Bad Scuol

Relax your body and mind after an active few days on the slopes at the Engadin baths in Scuol, open seven days a week. Get a Rhaetian Railways combined ticket which includes your trip (train and bus to the spa) and entrance to the baths, both indoor and outdoor.

Sportzentrum Klosters

If you happen to get a bit tired of all the skiing, then you should visit Klosters sports centre and show off your ice skating skills instead. Free entry for ice skating with a valid guest card.

Horse Drawn Sleigh

Horse Drawn Sleigh

What could be more romantic than travelling through the snowy landscapes on a horse-drawn sleigh? Five coaching families organise these excursions.

The skiing resort

The skiing resort

Klosters, with its fresh unpolluted air and quiet charm, offer travellers in search of a bit of peace and quiet in a restful escape from the scramble of modern life. Indeed, travellers include celebrities and even royalty - Klosters is reported to be the winter getaway of choice for Prince Charles. This resort is certainly fit for an heir to the throne with its beautiful scenery, active winter sports and reputable entertainment on offer. The resort has novice and advanced skiers flocking to its slopes, however, it is acknowledged to accommodate the intermediate skier best.
