Klosters originated in around 1220 A.D. with the founding of the St. Jacob and St. Christopher monastery, whence the name “Klosters” (monastery). Around 200 years later, German-speaking Walser (people from the canton of Valais) settled in the Schlappin. The Walser went on to inhabit the whole of the Prättigau, and their mark on the typical Prättigau dialect is still evident today.

In around 1870, the first hotels were built, and the stretch of Rhaetian Railway line from Landquart to Klosters was opened. This was the start of Klosters as an international tourist resort.
