Klosters lies at your feet.
Open to the world and rich in tradition.
Mountain village and holiday metropolis.

Klosters is a village with good prospects: for relaxation, for excursions, for sports, and for enchanting holidays.

Treat yourself to a holiday experience.

Klosters, 1,200 m (3,937 ft) above sea level, is one of the most popular alpine holiday resorts. The well-maintained scenic village in the midst of a fascinating mountain landscape, the wide range of sports, leisure, and relaxation offers in the Davos/Klosters holiday region, and the varied possibilities for excursions by Rhaetian Railway to the only Swiss national park and to the Engadine explain why the commune of Klosters-Serneus is able to count on an international clientele.

*Holiday Experience*
With its throngs of international visitors and its wide range of attractions, Klosters is one of Graubunden’s loved holiday resorts, whose village character has been widely preserved. Visitors, who value holidays in country surroundings, will have a sense of wellbeing here at 1200 m (3937 ft) above sea level.

Its proximity to Davos and the fast connection to the Engadine offer new horizons to Klosters’ visitors. For those hungry for discovery, as well as sporting persons, Klosters is the ideal place for active holidays.

*Activities*
Relax, slow down, enjoy yourself far away from everyday life
Hiking, cycling, skiing, carving, snowboarding ...

The choice is yours!

Take a deep breath and forget everyday life. You can do this in Klosters, whether drinking a hot chocolate at 2,000 metres (6562 ft) or in a wellness centre in the valley.
