Klosters, Switzerland

Klosters is a comfortable, quiet, picturesque village with a genteel, upmarket atmosphere and a plethora of luxury chalets.

The area provides a wide variety of skiing and plenty of off-piste terrain for experts. Intermediates are well catered for with plenty of excellent cruising runs in all five ski areas. There are some nursery slopes for beginners. Cross country trails are also in abundance.

One charming feature is the red mountain train which winds through the region. Why not enjoy a morning's skiing through trees to one of the hamlets in the valley and then enjoy a wonderful mountain lunch before taking the train back to Klosters.

There are a few good venues for some apres ski and several good restaurants and bars. There is plenty to do off the slopes with a good sport and leisure centre with an ice rink and some reasonable shopping.
