- Abstract
Klosters has changed, of course. it's no longer the unspoiled village, two hours from Zurich and buried in snow, that Irwin Shaw found when he first drove down from Paris one winter in the 1950's. That paradise with its farmers, open fields and absolute jewel of a hotel has almost disappeared. Its perfection doomed it. The crowds arrived. Buildings sprang up. But the skiing is still excellent, some of the best in Switzerland; the small hotel has lost none of its charm; there is at least one exceptional restaurant that deserves a couple of stars and from the highest summit you can still ski a long, beautiful run, the longest in Europe.
