Klosters is a well-known ski resort in Graubünden canton in eastern Switzerland. To differentiate it from other places with the name name, it is often called Klosters-Serneus. Situated 1,179 m (3,868 ft) above sea level, Klosters covers 193.16 sq km (74.58 sq mi) and has a population of less than 4,000 people (2011 estimate).

Once a medieval monastery village that developed in the 13th century, Klosters has evolved into a chic and modern ski resort today. Apart from its name (Klosters means monastery), the only trace of the monastery in Klosters is the Church of St James (Kirche St Jacob), which is noted for its exquisite stained-glass windows.

Today Klosters receive spillover visitors from the bigger, more established Davos. It maintains itself as an exclusive tourist destination. The ski slopes of Klosters, shared with Davos, is suitable for skiers of all levels of experience.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
