Klosters

Klosters is also very well known for its tobogganing - an activity for children and adults alike - and local legend has it that tobogganing was invented here. The four toboggan runs available (Gotschna, Madrisa, Alpenrosli, Aeuja) are free of charge - you just have to pay for toboggan rentals. With its four toboggan runs, Klosters offers fun for the whole family. You can opt for individual rides on the mountain trains, half day or full day rides.

Relax your body and mind after an active few days on the slopes at the Engadin baths in Scuol, open seven days a week. Get a Rhaetian Railways combined ticket which includes your trip (train and bus to the spa) and entrance to the baths, both indoor and outdoor.
