Hans Guler, who came from a family of mountain guides, opened the Chesa Grischuna hotel and restaurant in Klosters in 1938. He had commissioned the then very well-known Zurich architect Hermann Schneider, who also designed the Chesa Veglia in St. Moritz, to build the house.

The Chesa Grischuna is a masterpiece of local craftsmanship and 1930s design. The paintings on the house wall are by Alois Carigiet.
