At an altitude of 1890 metres, Val Fex is one of the highest inhabited valleys in Switzerland! Chesa Klucker is part of Platta, one of the hamlets that make up Val Fex and are part of the municipality of Sils Maria, 2 km below. It is a protected site, where motor vehicle traffic is reserved for permanent residents only. Getting around is done on foot or in authentic horse-drawn carriages known as "Kutsche." The neighbouring guesthouse, Chesa Pool, can provide transport in shuttle minibuses (upon request). 

The panorama here is breathtaking! Imposing "piz" peaks (Chapütschin - 3386 m) and a glacier (Tremoggia - 3441 m) overlook the valley. Gentler mountains (Marmoré - 2275 m to the north and Muot Ota - 2458 m to the south) watch over the house.

At the bottom of the property the transparent and turquoise waters of the fast-flowing "Fexbach," river snake their way through Sils Maria ending their course at the Inn, a tributary of Lake Silvaplana. A few hundred metres away, Lake Sils stretches out before you, a miracle of crystal clear waters where you can go for walks around the lake or enjoy some water sports. As for the municipality of Sils Maria, it can be reached by foot via the "Schluchtweg," path in about 15/20 minutes in summer and 20/25 minutes in winter.

Since the late 19th century, Val Fex has attracted a crowd of intellectuals and artists who have all been inspired by this magical place! In 1881, it is here, amidst shimmering lakes and larch forests, that Nietzsche had the idea for one of his major works: "Thus Spoke Zarathustra." Marcel Proust evokes "the dark serenity of the larches" and "the strange sweetness" of Lake Sils in his writings. Thomas Mann and Hermann Hesse felt at home in the valley. And later, Alberto Moravia, Luchino Visconti, Gerhard Richter, or even David Bowie made it their enchanted interludes. As for Olivier Assayas, he came here to track the famous Maloja snake, a strange cloud that weaves between the peaks during the autumn months and a unique meteorological phenomenon in the world that inspired his film "Sils Maria."
