Klosters
Built around agricultural settlements along the Landquart River, Klosters grew into an established mountain resort in Graubünden. The village occupies the upper Prättigau in the Rhaetian Alps, where the Landquart follows a narrow valley beneath high ridges. Above it, Gotschnagrat is reached by the Gotschna cable car and forms part of the Parsenn ski area, whose terrain connects Klosters with Davos. Alpine pastureland, exposed rock and lift infrastructure give this part of the mountain a distinctly high-altitude character. Klosters also retains a strong Walser heritage, reflecting the German-speaking settlers who established communities in parts of Graubünden during the Middle Ages.

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.
