Parking & Directions: Getting to the Grand Tour of Switzerland Davos/Klosters Viewpoint

Accessibility is key at this location. There are designated parking areas near the viewpoint on the western slope of the pass. From the parking lot, the walk to the prime viewing spot is very short and manageable for almost everyone, hence its universal accessibility. Pack a light jacket, even in summer, as the high-altitude air can be brisk! This is the epitome of an easy Alps photo stop on the Grand Tour of Switzerland.

Important Visitor Information

Seasonal Road Closures: The Flüela Pass road is typically closed during the winter months (approximately late October/November through May) due to heavy snow and avalanche risk. Always check the current road status before planning your trip.

Elevation: Remember you are in a high alpine environment. Even this short walk is at a high elevation, so the air will be cooler and thinner. Dress in layers!
