Introduction:

Klosters is a small, upscale resort displaying a classic Alpine village appearance. It is relatively low-key and unassuming in character compared to many other resorts in the region. Nevertheless, its status as the favourite resort of Britain's Prince Charles brings with it waves of publicity, high-profile visitors, and regular invasions by hoards of paparazzi.

In combination with nearby Davos, the resort offers a wide range of top-notch skiing, but if you want to hit the bars after hitting the slopes, you're better off basing yourself in its larger neighbour. If it's scenery, succour, comfort and old-world charm you want, however, Klosters certainly fits the bill.
 

Location:

Klosters is situated towards the southern end of the Prättigau Valley, within the remote Swiss canton of Graubünden, 8km (5 miles) from Davos. Between Klosters and Davos is a route southeast to the Flüela Pass and the Engadine.
