Resort Guide for Klosters, Switzerland

Resort Profile

Time may have stood still in the village of Klosters but the skiing has grown apace, with more than 345km (217 miles) of trails on one lift pass, that takes in the neighbouring town of Davos (13km8 miles away, rail link included on ticket if you don't want to ski it). The range of skiing is tremendous, with more than 30% of the trails categorised black and a reputation for marvellous opportunities off piste. The top lift is at 2844 metres (9330 feet) with Klosters nestled down at 1200 metres (3935 feet) giving a nice healthy vertical drop with relatively snow sure conditions. There are some wonderfully long and varied trails, the greatest being the Weissfluhgipfel run down to Küblis, categorised blackred and 12km (nearly 8 miles) long. The area's lifts are a mixture of cable cars and surface lifts, with few chairs. Beginners have three areas by the village in which to develop their technique with baby lifts for the uphill bit. For everyone else the REGA area pass is the ticket to buy. This cover's Kloster's 'own' ski area on Madrisa, reached by gondola from Klosters Dorf this has seven drag lifts serving largely easy and intermediate runs on sunny south facing slopes above the trees, with a couple of long blacks and reds cutting back down through the forest to the resort. On the other side of the valley the 'Prince Charles' cable car from Klosters Platz successes the Gotschnagrat from where you can either return to Klosters on exciting blacks and reds or head on to Davos. This huge area, the largest single sector on the pass, has skiing for all ability levels and hooks up to some superb off-piste routes that go behind the ski area to Küblis and other hamlets in the area. Cross country skiers have 50km (31 miles) of well prepared trails in the valley offering classic or skating style options and different levels of difficulty between Klosters and the neighbouring village of Serneus. Routes include the Vereina valley and the Novai Alp. A 3km (2 mile) illuminated trail is available for evening treks.
