Klosters, before you book
Klosters sits in two parts along the same Rhaetian Railway line in Graubünden: Klosters Platz, the main village at 1179 metres, and Klosters Dorf, two kilometres down the valley at 1124 metres. The main Landquart to Davos road runs straight through the village, so cars and trains both arrive without restriction. Zürich HB reaches Klosters Platz in one hour fifty-one minutes, with one change at Landquart. Drivers can also load the car onto the Vereina train at Klosters Selfranga and come out under the mountain in the Engadin eighteen minutes later.
Geography splits into three simple choices. Klosters Platz, around the station and the Landstrasse, is where the Gotschnabahn leaves for Gotschnagrat and the Parsenn, the ski area shared with Davos over about 97 kilometres of pistes. Two kilometres down the valley, Klosters Dorf sits at the Madrisa gondola, with its own 23 kilometres of slopes and the Madrisa-Land family park, linked to Klosters Platz by a signposted walk of about three-quarters of an hour. Further up, Monbiel marks the end of the road, where the long alp walks toward Alp Garfiun, the Fergenhütte SAC and the Silvrettahütte SAC begin.
The hotel list ranges from bed-and-breakfast houses to a boutique address with its own spa, split between Klosters Platz and Klosters Dorf. Our dated price samples, taken across six of these hotels, show winter nights costing more than summer ones at every address with both a sample; Sport-Lodge Klosters and Hotel Silvapina have the lowest prices of the selection.
Winter on the Parsenn runs from 27 November 2026 to 4 April 2027, and on the Madrisa from 18 December 2026 to 29 March 2027; both lifts reopen for summer, the Parsenn from 27 June to 11 October 2026 and the Madrisa from 13 June to 18 October. Whichever season, the journey from Zürich HB takes one hour fifty-one minutes with a single change at Landquart, or fifty-seven minutes from Chur, so both Klosters stations stay within easy reach of either city.
