Resort Highlights
The village end of Davos-Klosters
Klosters is a Swiss village in the Prättigau, in the canton of Grisons, and part of the municipality that shortened its name from Klosters-Serneus to plain Klosters in 2021. The village itself has two main parts, Klosters Dorf and Klosters Platz, along with the settlements of Selfranga, Äuja and Monbiel, and the municipality also absorbed the former municipality of Saas im Prättigau in 2016. It lies on the Austrian border, 10 km north of Davos, and it forms part of Davos’s extended ski area. That relationship is the key to understanding it: Klosters is the village end of the arrangement, and the lift pass covers both.
300 km on one pass
The Davos-Klosters area offers 300 km of pistes served by 57 lifts, running from 1,194 m to 2,844 m. That is an enormous kilometre count, and the top height of 2,844 m is well into the altitude band where elevation helps snow reliability, so the upper sectors hold their cover through the December to April season. The vertical of 1,650 m is generous, and 57 lifts across 300 km, at roughly 5 km of piste per lift, suggests long runs and sectors that are spread out rather than stacked on a single face.
No difficulty breakdown is published for the 300 km, but an area of this size almost by definition has something for every level, and the practical question is less about ability than about geography: with the terrain shared between Klosters and Davos, a week here involves choosing which sectors to ski from which base. Staying in Klosters means starting the day in the village and finishing it there, with Davos only 10 km away when a change of scene is wanted.
Village character
Klosters is rated for traditional charm and scenic views, and the description fits a Prättigau village with distinct old and new parts rather than a resort built around a lift station. The setting on the Austrian border gives it a valley character quite different from its larger neighbour, and the scale of the shared ski area means that character comes without any compromise on skiing. It is the combination that has kept Klosters in demand: a village atmosphere attached to one of the biggest lift systems in the region.
