Accommodation and Facilities for the Rufena in Switzerland

Winter Sports

Klosters has everything you would expect from one of Europe's top alpine resorts and it's all right on our doorstep. The Selfranga ski lift is 5 minutes walk, the main cable car to the Gotscha-Parsenn ski area is 10-15 minutes walk down hill or you can take the free local ski-bus just around the corner. After a long day's skiing you don't have to trek back up to the apartment - you can either catch the bus back up the hill or you can ski right down to the bus stop. Ice skating, ice hockey & curling are 15 minutes walk away at the sports centre together with the start of the horse-driven sledge route. The main cross-country loop is 10 minutes walk away at the bottom of the hill. The Gotschna cable car also takes you to the start of a super sledge run, and yes, we provide sledges too! If you need to relax after a days skiing you can either use the sauna in the basement or soak those aching muscles in one of the hotel spa pools (4 of which are open to the public).

Summer Sports

The apartment is close to Klosters’ 9 hole golf course, which affords a wonderful experience not least because of the magnificent setting. If on the other hand you don't want to spoil a good walk, Klosters really is the perfect place to be. The apartment is literally metres from the hiking trail to Davos and trails in all directions are only a few minutes away. You can choose from gentle strolls to serious mountain hiking. The gentle strolls aren't confined to the valley as the Gotschna cable car is open in the summer and gives access to many easy trails with glorious views. For mountain bikers Klosters is an absolute paradise. The Swiss Bike Masters trail is 5 minutes away plus numerous trails in all directions up into the hills. The apartment has a variety of maps and guide books of walking and biking trails. There is also superb white water nearby, grades IV to VI in Klosters (strictly for pros) or through the Vereina tunnel for grades I to VI on the river Inn.

Those Little Red Trains

Klosters is a great place for exploring the eastern mountains and valleys of Switzerland and there really is no better way than travelling on the Rhaetische Bahn railway. Klosters station, which is 15 minutes walk from the apartment, is a junction with trains running in three directions. You can take a short trip to Davos and walk back over the mountains, or go through the Vereina tunnel to St Moritz or Scuol which has beautiful thermal baths. The Vereina tunnel also has a car-ferry which is great if you want to hop over to St Moritz with your car. If you want something a bit more special, you can take the train through the tunnel and over the world famous, and simply stunning, Bernina Pass line down to Tirano in northern Italy...and of course, being Switzerland there are plenty of trains so you won't have a problem getting back again on the same day. You can go the whole hog and reserve places in the observation car. This route is an unforgettable experience in summer or winter.

Skiing Information:

The beautiful Klosters skiing region is world famous as the winter playground of the English royalty. At 4000 feet above sea level the village of Klosters has access to over 190 miles of prepared pistes extending over six different areas including the neighbouring village of Davos. The main area, Gotschna-Parsenn, has 95 miles of pistes culminating on top of the Weissfluh at 9331 feet. There are two home-runs back to Klosters, one of which brings you directly back to Selfranga, via Schwarzseealp. You can also ski down to Davos (and come back up on the lifts) or try the incredible home-runs down to Serneus or Kublis which is 8 miles long and 6673 feet descent! Klosters also has a second area, Madrisa, which has plenty of blue & red runs plus some marked but unpisted runs from the top. There is plenty of off-piste skiing too but please make sure you check the local snow reports first. The other Davos areas (Jakobhorn, Rinerhorn and Pischa) are also included in the regional ski-pass.
