There’s no better way to explore Klosters than with Ski Club Freshtracks this season. We have at least eight departures heading to Klosters and sister resort Davos this season, with something for everything!
Despite the village’s relatively low altitude, more than 80% of the runs are above the snowsure altitude 2000m. Beginners have quick access to sunny nursery slopes up at Madrisa and some gentle blues at the top of the Gotschnagrat cable car, intermediates can explore five mountains in the valley and in Pischa there is an entire mountain dedicated to freeriding. The only real issue is the resort runs and beginners and early intermediates should definitely download – there is no blue route down.
The Klosters Platz railway station at the heart of town forms the hub of the village, from which a collection of upmarket chalet-style hotels dominate the resort centre. It is much smaller than Davos further up the valley and is split by the Landquart River, making for a more picturesque setting. The smaller Klosters Dorf lies at the base of Madrisa gondola, about a mile to the north.
Klosters makes for a quieter base in the valley than Davos. The smaller hotels and chalets are better suited to families and the lower levels of traffic make it all a bit safer. Staying at Klosters Dorf is recommended to be nearer the beginner ski areas.
For Ski Club Members, the hub is the Silvretta Park Hotel, located just over the river from the station and where the Ski_Club’s_social_hour is hosted each evening. Away from this, après is generally low key – sipping a glühwein in a cosy bar or grabbing a cold beer at Gaudy’s umbrella bar is very much the Klosters way.
Getting to Klosters is easiest on the train. From Zürich you need to change twice but it takes just over two hours – one of the quickest transfers in Switzerland – and this is by far the best airport to fly to. Basel is an hour further away. Driving is an option if your hotel has parking – Zürich is around two hours away, as are the small German airports of Friedrichshafen and Memmingen.
Dates for the 2023/24 season are still to be confirmed; the season at Klosters typically runs from early December to Mid-April.
Each of the six areas have different day and two-day pass prices, after which point the regional pass (covering all zones) takes over. For a full explanation visit the Davos/Klosters_website. Note that these prices may change, so check with the resort for the latest or give the Ski Club’s expert info & advice team call on 020 8410 2009.
Topcard is available for those looking for a season pass, it covers both summer and winter, and costs 1450 CHF (if bought before 1st May it would be 1200 CHF). It also covers the nearby resorts of Arosa, Lenzerheide and Flims/Laax.

Our Snow Overviews are updated bi-weekly between the start of December and early May every season, providing summaries of snowfall, weather, avalanche risk and other noteworthy meteorological events to help you prepare for your skiing holiday. Check back next winter to stay up-to-date on the latest weather happenings in resort.
Your Ski Club Reps are in resort for one reason only; to help you discover better skiing. They are your personal resort gurus, with years of experience skiing here and around the world, who will bring you and your fellow Members together to conquer the mountain! Stay up to date with everything in resort, find the best spots for an après beer, and ski to your heart’s content.
Our Reps will be in resort between 4 January and 14 March 2025, skiing six days a week – Reps’ day off/changeover day is Saturday in this resort. We are making changes to how registration to ski with the Club in resort works. Thank you for your patience whilst we undertake these updates to the registration process.
Hi, I have been a rep for over 22 years and have skied/snowboarded in numerous resorts all over the alps. I have lived and worked in Switzerland at times and so lucky to visit many lesser known ski resorts both in winter and summer. I look forward to sharing my knowledge and experience with you and maybe an adventure or two!
There is no Rep scheduled to be in resort over the designated period.
Skiing has become one of my favourite activities. From exploring the pistes with friends to skinning up mountains in a blizzard with the family (and hopefully find some powder rather than breakable crust on the way down) or skiing with SCGB members for the day, skiing is always fun and full of adventure. I am probably known for always only eating an apple strudel or fruit tart on the mountain! In Lech, where I skied for over 15 years, the mountain guides knew to finish by the best spot. Whilst leading in Saas Fee I combined the awesome views with the food for my ratings. I now enjoy repping for the club in Klosters, a resort with a good variety of skiing and restaurants! Otherwise I ski mostly in the Valais, based in the Four Valleys/Verbier.
Although I started skiing in my twenties, I was already an avid watcher of Ski Sunday and knew the tune off-by-heart whilst still in nappies. Taking the career opportunity to live and work in Switzerland for 8 years further nailed my obsession and having skiied every weekend since arriving, during the season, I soon got to grips with my edges. I gave myself the challenge (and a birthday treat?!) to learn to snowboard in 2005 and have subsequently done my exams on the board. I love the freedom and fluidity on the board and really enjoy leading skiers and encouraging us all to share the piste together and have fun. A few of my favourite resorts I have snowboarded in include: Aspen, Breckenridge, Vail, Whistler, Villars,FilmsLaax, Chamonix, Megeve, Courmayeur, and Banff including Lake Louise. I've Heli-skied (on the board) off Panorama with RK Helsinki and I've repped in Klosters, Davos, Saas Fee and Verbier. I very much look forward to seeing you there for some magic on the snow very soon.
Skiing is so addictive, isn’t it?
The thrill of the descent, the stunning mountain views, the cold fresh air, the crunch of snow underfoot and the vibrant Apres ski. Oh, and memories which last a lifetime! Despite skiing for over 30 yrs in resorts all over the world, and a career in ski media nearly all my working life, my passion for the sport remains unabated.
On planning retirement, the key question was how am I going to continue to feed this love of the mountains and give something back to the sport? Having worked for the Ski Club for many years and skied with its Reps on several occasions, I understood the value of the product and admired it greatly. So there was the solution: join the fold, which I did in 2018! I look forward to meeting you soon and sharing our passion.
