Klosters is the quiet end of Davos Klosters: a low-key village of dark-timbered chalets strung along the Prättigau valley, split between Klosters Platz, with the station and the Gotschna cable car, and the smaller Klosters Dorf, home of the Madrisa lift. It has none of Davos's town bustle or conference hotels, and its reputation rests on discretion. The British have skied here for generations, the royal family among them. It is expensive, well kept and more chalet than nightlife.
The skiing is the big draw. The Gotschna cable car climbs straight into the Parsenn, the large area shared with Davos, which suits confident intermediates, with long open reds and the classic runs down towards Serneus and Küblis, while the steep Gotschna slopes and the off-piste give advanced skiers plenty to do. Madrisa, across the valley, is the gentler family mountain with children's areas and ski school slopes. The trade-off at Christmas is the village height. Klosters sits low, so the runs home and the long descents to the valley depend on a good early winter, and in a mild December you ride the cable car down while the upper Parsenn stays reliable.
Low-key and village-scale rather than a big market. In the 2026 season the Sächsi Schällätä season opening on 5 December brings a bonfire, St Nicholas and a children's programme, and the Klosters Christmas Concerts run from 11 to 13 December at Hotel Vereina and St Jakob church. In the 2025 season the Winterzauber on the Montana site by Klosters Platz station ran on the evenings of 20 to 23 and 26 to 30 December, with a Christmas tree, market stalls, light installations and nightly music, and it has not yet published 2026 dates.
Our Christmas atmosphere rating: 4 out of 5
Reasonable rather than extensive. There are winter walks, cross-country trails along the valley and a long toboggan run from Madrisa to Saas, and Davos with its larger range of shops, pools and museums is a short train ride away.
63/ 100
Usually reliable
63 out of 100 — normally open at Christmas, with more of the lower runs depending on the year. The strongest factor here is the measured Christmas snow record. At least 30cm of snow on the ground on 30 of the last 30 Christmas mornings at the Gatschiefer station (2299 m). Snow in the Alps varies from one December to the next, and no resort can promise cover on a given week.
The Christmas Snow Score compares resorts on how often there has been snow on the ground on Christmas morning, measured at weather stations over the last thirty years, with altitude, snowmaking and glacier access. It describes how reliable a resort tends to be, not what the snow will do this year — Alpine conditions vary from season to season and nobody can promise them. How the Snow Score works and how the resorts compare

How Klosters compares with the other resorts we measure: the Christmas Snow Report.
The village sits at 1,206m, and the lift-served ski area reaches 2,844m. The village figure is Klosters Platz; the top figure is the Weissfluhgipfel, reached by cable car above the Weissfluhjoch, and the piste figure is the Parsenn alone, the area Klosters shares with Davos via the Gotschnabahn. Madrisa, Klosters' own family mountain, is not lift-linked to the Parsenn and adds its own slopes on the same Davos Klosters pass. Altitude matters at Christmas because high ground holds snow in a thin December; the measured Christmas record on this page shows how that has played out year by year. Figures checked on 22 September 2026 against the source listed on this page.
Klosters is one of the better family choices we cover. It also does Christmas itself well, which children notice. This is our editorial judgement rather than a measurement, and the resort page explains the reasoning.
Klosters is workable for beginners without being a standout. One thing to weigh at Christmas specifically: nursery slopes are usually the lowest terrain in a resort and so the first to be thin in December. Here, that is worth taking seriously in a poor December.
The usual arrival airports are Zurich (ZRH). Transfer times swing widely with traffic and road conditions on a Saturday in Christmas week, so treat any published drive time as a minimum and ask your transfer company for a figure they will stand behind.
We list 2 chalets in Klosters, but we do not take bookings ourselves: we are not a travel agent and we take no bookings or payments. We link to partners who do, and the links on this page go to their live Christmas availability. If you book through one we may earn a commission, which does not change your price.
