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.
An enjoyable tour includes the careful planning of the same. Please inform yourself in advance at the local information center about the route and weather conditions. Depending on the season and weather conditions, this route may be blocked or interrupted
