Klosters, Switzerland
Klosters offers a unique combination of a renowned mountain resort – the British heir to the throne Prince Charles is a regular guest – and the idyll of an unspoilt Graubünden village. The diverse range of activities on offer in summer and winter is well suited to families with children.
Summer Season
Expansive rambling area in the Prättigau/Klosters/Davos holiday region with 700 km of trails ranging from footpaths suitable for prams through to demanding mountain hikes. In addition to the nature, rock and forest trails, the energy-encounter trail and a herb garden at at Madrisa above Klosters serve to ensure quite special experiences.

Over 90 regional legends and popular tales are depicted in the park, which is also accessible to disabled and visually impaired visitors.
Cyclists and mountain bikers will find routes of varying degrees of difficulty situated around Klosters. One of the highlights is the Gotschna Freeride Piste: this spectacular roller-coaster for mountain bikers is 6 km long.
