What you did not know about Hotel Piz Buin Superior.
Hotel Piz Buin Superior stands on land that reflects the earliest rhythms of Klosters' alpine heritage, territory shaped by centuries of farming, seasonal migration, river-powered industry, and the gradual rise of the village into one of Europe's most beloved mountain retreats.
Before Klosters became known for skiing, discreet tourism, and its royal connections, the land where Hotel Piz Buin now stands was part of a working agricultural valley. The Landquart River, which flows directly past the property, served as both lifeline and landmark for the early Walser settlers who founded Klosters in the 13th century. These settlers, German-speaking mountain people who migrated across high passes, brought with them unique farming methods adapted to steep terrain and harsh winters. The riverside land surrounding present-day Piz Buin Superior held pastures, sheds, and simple wooden structures where villagers raised livestock, cut hay, and managed the foundational tasks of survival in an alpine environment. The river was essential: powering mills, irrigating meadows, and serving as a guide for early trade paths that connected the valley to Davos, Prättigau, and other Walser communities. The land, flat by alpine standards, became a central zone for village life, agriculture, and gatherings. By the 19th century, Klosters' breathtaking landscapes began attracting educated travelers from across Europe. Romantic-era painters, explorers, and early mountaineers arrived to experience the dramatic peaks and tranquil valleys. The land where the hotel stands transitioned gradually from purely agricultural use to lodging and guesthouses designed to accommodate the growing number of visitors seeking clean air and restorative mountain environments. The 20th century brought the true transformation. Klosters became interwoven with the rise of alpine skiing, drawing adventurers and winter travelers from across Switzerland and beyond. The Gotschnabahn lift was a major catalyst, opening direct access to the massive Davos, Klosters ski network. With this development, the land near the river became prime hotel territory, central, scenic, and within effortless reach of the lifts. The building that evolved into Hotel Piz Buin began as a modest mountain lodge, expanded through the mid-century tourism boom and refined through multiple generations of modernizations. It mirrored the evolution of Klosters itself: discreet luxury, authentic Swiss atmosphere, and an unpretentious charm that attracted royalty, celebrities, and travelers seeking a quieter alternative to larger Alpine resorts. Today, beneath the hotel's contemporary elegance lies a landscape that once witnessed shepherds guiding cattle to alpine meadows, traders crossing the valley with goods, craftspeople using river-powered tools, and early travelers sketching the mountains that would one day define Klosters' global identity. Hotel Piz Buin Superior stands as a continuation of this layered heritage, a modern expression built upon centuries of mountain life, community, and deep-rooted respect for the land.
