Klosters is a Prättigau village about 10 km from Davos, with direct access to the Gotschna and Parsenn ski area. Madrisa suits families. Homes are mostly small, and about half have a fireplace.
Klosters is the largest and uppermost village in the Prättigau and has about 4,400 residents. Its railway station arrived in 1889, and the line has two village stops, Klosters Platz and Klosters Dorf. Skiing starts at Gotschna, a cable car ride that opens onto the Parsenn area, while Madrisa is the family mountain, with magic carpets and toboggan runs. A walk along the Landquart river leads to the 525-metre Sunniberg Bridge, built for the village bypass. Our homes are spread around the village, mostly small with a fireplace, and some have a garden. There are boutiques, cafés and restaurants in the centre.
