01/ Overview

The route

“In Klosters, the cross-country trail to Garfiun is indescribably beautiful,” gushes local elite skier Seraina Boner. The section from romantic Monbiel to the Alp Garfiun and back is not just a well-kept secret amongst locals.

It is only a few steps from the Klosters, Bündelti bus stop to the start of the eleven-kilometre cross-country ski trail. The route leads out of Bündelti and climbs gradually across broad meadows and open terrain. The long ascent defines the first part of the circuit, with around 260 metres of ascent in total.

At Alp Garfiun, the mountain restaurant lies around 200 metres off the route. The climb then continues until, after just over eight kilometres, the trail reaches its highest point at just under 1,400 m. It now descends again towards the houses of Monbiel. The final section completes the circuit and returns to Bündelti after just over three hours. The finish is once again only a few steps from the bus stop of the same name.

Current conditions

What to know before you set off. Closures and snow are re-checked every day.

  • How we check: Every night we match the route against the official closures and detours from the Federal Roads Office (FEDRO). Any reported closure that touches the route shows up here.

  • How we check: We look up a live public transport connection from your starting point to the stop closest to the trailhead. If it ends further away, the nearest stop may be a cable car or bus that isn't running right now.

  • Cross-country skiing is more fun in the snow! Check local conditions before heading out.

    How we check: Snow depth estimated daily at the lowest and the highest point of the route. Estimates: check the situation on site.
