Although sister resorts sharing skiing terrain, Klosters and Davos are the proverbial apples and oranges. The former is a quaint farming village surrounded by mountains where little has changed over the past centuries: cows still pasture in summer and firewood's still neatly stacked in winter. In recent decades Klosters has attained a level of 21st century sophistication: its pastoral natural beauty attracts some of the literary and remaining royalty. Davos is the more modern mountain resort.  Each January it's the economic and political hub of our 21st century universe when the World Economic Forum brings many of the globally famous to this small city for everything but skiing!

Their loss - for this huge arena's skiing is winter's cause célèbre, raison d'être. All seven mountains on the ski pass are reached by shuttle bus, train or lift. From Madrisa in Klosters Dorf intermediates ski to Austria; the more inexperienced practice their lessons on Klosters extensive novice slopes; take the brand new six passenger hi-speed chairs to Jacobshorn or the new bigger and better Weissfluhjoch cable car to their boarding areas; and double-diamond enthusiasts can take the enlarged Gotschna cable car to the Parsenn, Weissfluhjoch and Wolfgang for some of Europe's most challenging terrain. Everyone can try the 14 mile run, Europe's longest, to Kublis - even those January esoterica with more wordly affairs on their minds!
