Madrisa
The family-friendly mountain above Klosters
Winter season 2024/25 on Madrisa
The winter season at Madrisa lasts from December 20, 2024 to March 30, 2025.
Madrisa: the mountain for families in Klosters
Barrier-free lifts and mountain restaurants, adventure park for families and sporting highlights such as ski touring, hiking and trail running: Madrisa, Klosters' local mountain, impresses all year round.
There are few ski areas that are as specialized in families with small children and people with disabilities as Madrisa. No wonder: In the children's snow parks in Madrisa-Land and in the Madrisa-Park Klosters, there is a special practice area. Four magic carpets carry the little ski bunnies up. And with a snow bike (available from Intersport at the mountain station), you can go down the slope sitting down with your skis strapped on - ideal for beginners. While the children practice their first turns on three practice lifts, the parents explore the ski area with 23 kilometers of slopes. If there is enough snow, the 7.7-kilometer-long toboggan run to Saas, the winter hiking trails to Mässplatte and Zügenhüttli and the new Mässplatte snowshoe trail are among the highlights.
Bucket List on Madrisa
Twelve things you shouldn’t miss at Madrisa in Klosters.
A barrier-free mountain for people with disabilities
Those with a handicap don't have to miss out on winter sports. At least, on Madrisa. The cable car and the mountain restaurant are wheelchair accessible. The 6-seater chairlift Schaffürggli also transports skiers with monoskis. The special thing: the safety bar closes and opens automatically. The seat height also adjusts automatically - thus ensuring comfort. Word has got around: every winter, veterans with war injuries come from Great Britain.
In summer: adventure park for children and overnight stays in tree houses
Speaking of which: Madrisa-Land is the first adventure park in the Swiss Alps that allows physically and visually impaired children to play. The children's land has a ball run, bouncy castle, slides, water games and swings. Everything is there for children to let off steam. Tip: During the summer season, the life-size Henne Hanna mascot can be found on some Sundays. And families who want to stay longer can also stay overnight in the tree huts on site or in the new Star Suite.
Ski touring, trail running and smugglers' trail hiking
In addition to its family offering, Madrisa is also interesting for athletes all year round. Ski tourers and freeriders love the Madrisa circular tour to Austria and back again. In summer, this route is also known as a hike on former smugglers' paths. Trail runners run past spectacular ridges - and paragliders take off from the launch site near the Schaffürggli chairlift. Not enough yet? A 3D course for archers and monster scooters ensure action in summer.
Twelve things you should experience in Madrisa
- 01
Visit Madrisa Land
Either with godchildren or with your own: a visit to Madrisa Land is guaranteed to make children's eyes light up. No wonder: in the children's land at around 1900 m above sea level, they can really let off steam by jumping, sliding, playing in the water or swinging.

Pub in summer on Madrisa
The Kneipp facility can be found above the Madrisa-Alp mountain restaurant near the Öpfelsee. The facility consists of a variety of stations around the lake, which are made of natural materials such as stone, pebbles, wood, moor, pine cones and water.

Spend the night in a treehouse in summer

Go hunting with a bow and arrow
Are you accurate and enjoy being out in nature? In summer, Madrisa has a 3D course for archers - and for anyone who wants to become one. Collect as many hit points as possible on the three-dimensional target figures. You can rent the equipment for this from the Madrisabahn.
- 08
Sled down to Saas
If there is enough snow in winter, you can whizz down the 7.7-kilometer-long toboggan run to Saas. Then you can take the bus back from Saas village square. You can rent toboggans at Intersport Madrisa at the mountain station. Return to the Madrisa valley station.

Take a winter hike on Madrisa
You don't have to be a skier to enjoy the snow on Madrisa. How about a winter hike? There are two routes to choose from: either from the mountain station to Mässplatte or to Zügenhüttli. The winter hiking trails are accessible with good footwear.

Circumnavigate the Madrisa on a ski tour
The circuit around the Madrisa has been considered a ski touring classic for decades. The cross-border, technically easy day tour takes you from Klosters to Austria and back again. The descents reward all the exertions of the ascent.

Have a drink at the Cannon Bar
The rustic wooden hut of the Kanonenbar is located at the end of the Madrisa valley run, or above the Madrisabahn car park. The bar is open all year round. Drink tips: Kanonen-Kaffi, homemade mulled wine, hot widow or simply a warm Ovomaltine.
