Klosters is one of Switzerland’s superb skiing destinations. The town is the twin city of Davos, another popular destination in the country. Smaller and lower-lying, but beautiful and friendly, Klosters is a much more intimate town compared to Davos, yet has retained its nickname „Hollywood on the Rocks“ to this day. The city was named this way because of the many movie stars who regularly visit the fabulous alpine resort.
The winter resort of Klosters consists of two parts. Klosters Dorf on the Sevre and Klosters Platz. The town is located 137 km away from Zurich, which will cost you about an hour and a half of time if you opt for an airport transfer from Zurich airport to Klosters. During this time you will have the opportunity to enjoy the chilling beauty of Switzerland.
Klosters also has two main ski areas. For hikers, the town offers quite a few challenging trails, whilst their unique location ensures a stable snow cover. The resort offers a high-quality ski school for beginners, as well as a riding center. An interesting detail is that the riding school owns ponies for young guests to ride, indicating that the place is suitable for holidays with children. Every year Klosters hosts international festivals, gala concerts, organized hikes, and treks on horses or mules in the nearby surroundings of Klosters.
The local eateries and restaurants also offer an opportunity for a rich culinary adventure. Some of the options for visitors include fine delights like Italian pizza and pasta, traditional cuisine, German sausages with good beer, and a wide selection of Swiss cheeses and sweet surprises. As you can see, Klosters is a great choice for a winter holiday and is in an accessible location, so don’t overlook it.
