Klosters Dorf: Arena Klosters

Klosters Dorf occupies the floor of the Landquart valley in Grisons’ Prättigau region. The settlement forms the northern part of Klosters, where the Landquart River runs through a narrow Alpine corridor below the slopes of Madrisa. The Madrisa cable car departs from the village, linking the valley with a mountain area used for winter sports and summer walks. Klosters Dorf is served by the Rhaetian Railway on the Landquart–Davos line, an important connection through the Prättigau. Traditional timber-and-stone Alpine buildings and farms give it a more rural character than many larger Swiss resort centres.

The terrain of Grisons ranges from high Alpine valleys in the south to the broad Rhine valley in the north, shaping Switzerland’s largest and most linguistically diverse canton. The Inn flows through the Engadin, while the Rhine has long connected Chur, the cantonal capital, with the rest of central Europe. Romansh remains a defining regional language alongside German and Italian. The Rhaetian Railway’s Albula and Bernina lines, recognised by UNESCO, cross dramatic mountain country with remarkable engineering. Browse further webcams from the area to trace how this corner of eastern Switzerland links with neighbouring Alpine regions.

Switzerland stretches from the Jura Mountains in the northwest to the Alps in the south, encompassing a central plateau of cities, farms and lakes. The Rhine rises in the Swiss Alps, while Lake Geneva forms part of the country’s southwestern border. Zürich, Geneva and Basel are major urban centres, yet mountain railways and passes remain central to how many regions are experienced. Four national languages—German, French, Italian and Romansh—reflect Switzerland’s distinct cantonal identities. The Matterhorn above Zermatt is among Europe’s most recognisable peaks, and the 1291 Federal Charter is closely associated with the country’s founding tradition.
