Royal travel: Prince Charles opts for ski holidays in Klosters to avoid certain “people” | Travel News | Trip

Prince Charles, 72, learned to ski as a teenager with his father, Prince Philip. Winter sport has since become one of his favorite pastimes and he passed it on to his sons, Prince William and Prince Harry.

Of course, being a royal, he doesn’t like the type of ski vacation your average traveler might have.

Instead, he most often spends his time in the luxury resort of Kloster in Switzerland.

According to royal experts speaking in Channel 5 documentary The Royals on Holiday, there is a specific reason Prince Charles opts for this resort.

Travel expert Simon Calder explained, “The royals love high-end ski resorts because they know they won’t meet the kind of people who stick a smartphone in their face and ask for a selfie.

In addition to avoiding normal citizens, skiing also offers the Royal Family the possibility of a certain level of anonymity.

Camilla Tominey, Associate Editor of The Daily Telegraph added: “There is a reason the royals really like to ski because if they have masks and helmets on them no one can see them and they can walk the bigger slopes without worrying.

“Yes, they have to take their bodyguards with them.

“One thing that is interesting in recent years is that you have to have bodyguards who can ski.”

In fact, in recent years, Klosters has even been dubbed “Hollywood on the Rocks”.

“Klosters was once an ordinary Alpine village,” Calder explained.

“Today it is home to some of Europe’s best restaurants and ski chalets where a week’s rental is roughly the annual salary of a normal person.

“It’s a place that naturally appeals to Hollywood a-listers.

“People like Renée Zellweger and indeed Bono, I understand, is a fan.”
