Klosters Dwarf Trail - Klosters Circuit Trail Stage 2

All objects and beings come to life in nature for children. Small children have a very strong spiritual connection to their surroundings and are bound much more closely to it than adults. Dwarves, elves and gnomes come to life in this dreamlike state of consciousness.

Many children lose this ability to see nature, to deal with this naturalness and view it as part of the real world. Growing intellectual stresses coupled with a lack of contact with nature tend to make children’s spiritual perceptions recede into the background or even disappear. The ways that adults deal with these issues also makes many children doubt their own perception and makes them feel that they are doing something wrong.

The Dwarf Trail is designed to offer children the opportunity to revive their natural bond with nature and its beings. That’s why we consciously avoid excessive stimuli. Children and their parents should have the opportunity to bring their own imagination to life and enjoy nature in all its diversity. The stories and games along the trail are intended to serve as inspiration for all visitors.

We try as far as possible to work with natural materials and are constantly reinventing the trail. Our work is done by volunteers, as a contribution to nature, children and Klosters as a family holiday resort. The trail is developing gradually and we appreciate all help. Please patch anything up should you see anything that needs to be repaired! Please continue working on the trail with your children to make the Dwarf Trail even more attractive. Why not sew a dwarf hat at home with your children to get you in the mood? We are grateful for all contributions. However, above all, we hope that you and your children enjoy immersing yourself in the world of dwarves and enjoy nature with all your senses.
