Few hotels are strictly ski-in/ski-out: most sit in the village at 1,200 m and use the Gotschnabahn cable car, which leaves from the railway station and reaches the slopes in minutes.
Klosters runs on a paradox that is its whole appeal: it skis like one of the heavyweights of the Alps and looks like a chocolate-box village. At 1,200 m in the wide Prättigau valley, it shares a single lift pass with Davos covering 300 km of piste and 62 lifts across the Parsenn, Madrisa and Gotschna sectors. The Parsenn is the heart of the domain, long, sweeping reds that drop almost 2,000 m vertical from Weissfluhjoch into Klosters Dorf or Kublis, the kind of cruising that defined Swiss skiing in the postwar decades. The Madrisa side, reached by a separate cable car from the village, is sunnier and gentler, ideal for families. The Gotschna sector is the steep one, the home of the freeride classics that have given the resort its Bond-of-the-Alps reputation. King Charles has wintered here since the Prince Charles years, which sets the tone: discretion over flash, dark wood chalets over mirrored glass, hotels grand but never loud. The 45 blues and 55 reds suit the broad middle of the market, while the 30 blacks and the off-piste keep the experts honest. The Gotschnabahn pulls straight out of the railway station, so a train from Zurich Airport puts you on the snow without a transfer. Season November 30 to April 21.
