Klosters: Dorf - Madrisaland
Klosters is best known within Switzerland for its long-established alpine resort and its connection to the Davos Klosters mountain-sports area. The village lies in the Prättigau valley, where the Landquart flows beneath the Rhaetian Alps. Above Klosters Dorf, the Madrisa sector combines cable-car infrastructure, open pastureland and high ridges; Madrisa-Land is designed for families. Klosters developed from Walser settlements, whose migration into high Alpine valleys influenced local building and settlement traditions. Today, the resort supports winter sports as well as hiking and mountain excursions beyond the village.

Klosters combines an Alpine resort atmosphere with the everyday rhythm of a year-round Graubünden community, reflecting its position in the upper Prättigau valley. The Landquart flows through the settlement beneath slopes leading towards the Parsenn and Madrisa ski areas; in summer, these mountains draw walkers and cyclists. Klosters Platz and Klosters Dorf are served by the Rhaetian Railway, an essential transport link in this mountainous canton. At the Nutli-Hüschi local-history museum, a historic Walser house recalls the settlement traditions of the valley.

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.

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.
