Day 6 – The Schatzalp Funicular Railway
We discover Schatzalp today, also known as 'The Magic Mountain'
as it is mentioned in Thomas Mann's novel of the same name. We take
the Schatzalp Funicular Railway for a four-minute journey to
historic Schatzalp, 984 feet above the town, to visit the botanical
gardens. We tour the displays with the director of the Alpinum
gardens, featuring thousands of different plant species from
mountain regions across the world, including China, New Zealand and
Tibet. Back in Klosters this evening, we enjoy pre-dinner drinks at
our hotel ahead of an expert talk about the British royal family
with Clair Southwell, who worked closely with The Prince of Wales
and his family for decades.
