Intro

“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.

Description

The starting point of this route is Klosters Bündelti, just a few minutes by PostBus from Klosters Platz. The cross-country ski trail leads past the pristine hamlet of Monbiel into open countryside straight towards the Baretschrüti and then to the Schwendi. On the way you pass many pre-wintering sheds and can savour wonderful views over the gushing Landquart river.

You reach Garfiun after a short section through the forest and a gentle downhill section past Parsenn Boden. From here, skiers can plan in a shorter or longer stop in the rustic Alphütte to sample some of the genuine Grisons dishes on offer. The Alphütte lies some 5 minutes off the trail. Crossing the Verstancla stream which rises to the west of the Silvretta glacier, there is a loop past Alp Untersäss, where you turn around.

The route then leads down the valley, along the Landquart river, which is also crossed after a few hundred metres. After yet another crossing you come to the Baretschrüti from where you follow the same section back towards the little Walser village of Monbiel.
