The Ski Resort
One of the best luxury ski resorts in Europe, Davos Klosters offers refinement and exclusivity yet in a calm and relaxed format. Davos Klosters is luxury ski resort that offers informality, with style and class that few others can come close to. Here is a luxury ski resort that really does not have to try to attract and creat its exclusive status. It has the restaurants, the skiing, après-ski, the panache, not to mention the luxury ski chalets, that allow Davos and Klosters to be confident and understated in its appeal. The rich and famous, counts and countesses, and not to mention the British Royal family ski here because its not about show, or being seen, its about being part of an exclusive establishment in a refined luxury ski resort.
But whilst it is a luxury ski resort for the well-heeled visitors, the skiing is luxury too. Its exclusive status does result in many of the pistes being well manicured for the intermediate skier (and there is an abundance of red runs), there are several black pistes and the off-piste good too so experts will enjoy luxury ski holidays here too . Beginners are not forgotton and in Kloster Dorf and Klosters Platz, as well as Selfranga you will find some good nursery slopes. Over the mountain in Davos the main beginner area is the Bolgen nursery slope that you will fund located underneath the Jakobshorn.
In terms of Davos and Klosters, here at Luxury ski Chalets we would suggest that Klosters is by someway the more appealing of the two. Here the apres-ski is again classy but atmospheric too, with most apres ski occurring around Chesa Grischuna area which is close to the Klosters train station. In and round Klosters there are a number of exclusive restaurants and bars too so visitors will find plenty to do here. Davos also has a good apres ski although being historically a health resort the large ski hotels do lack the charm that Klosters generates and one or two look somewhat institutional. Again there are numerous restaurants and bars with most offering very good dining experiences.
Out of season, Davos and Klosters are small towns in themselves with both having around 3,500 people living there. As a consequence, along with its luxury ski resort status, both have a real charm and heart beat that is often lost in some ski resorts, including some of the othe luxury ski resorts. ,br/>
If you have yet to visit Davos Klosters, we really do think you are missing out and once bitten by the skiing and sophisticated atmosphere, you will finfd it hard not to go back.

Off Piste Skiing
Famous and infamous for bein the HRH Prince of Wales favourite off-piste skiing.
The Fideris and Jenaz off-piste itinerary runs offer safer descents and as a consequence are quite popular. They also benefit from being stunningly pretty descent. Dorfberg and Gemindeboden in good snow conditions offer good descents but are relatively low so avoid if the snow is not good.
Snow Boarding
The exclusive luxury ski resort status might put some luxury snowboarders off, but do not be fooled that this is a stuffy resort, or that it does not cater well for snowboarders. Davos Klosters has invested heavily in developing some of Europes best snowboarding areas and has a snowpark and two fabulous half pipes.
The piste are good too, intermediates snowboarders in particular and the off-piste will keep many experts happy for many a day. Beginners areas also cater well for snowboarders.
