Unlike other Alpine resorts favored by the well-to-do such as Saint Moritz, Klosters is not known for its glitz and glam.

Skiing is really the main affair, Simon Wells wrote in an article about the destination for Conde Nast Traveller. In Klosters, "it's easier to buy a box of kindling than a designer handbag," he said.

Charles and Diana had traveled to Klosters together on several occasions earlier in their marriage.

This time, they traveled with a group of friends who included Sarah Ferguson, Prince Andrew's first wife who was pregnant with Princess Beatrice at the time, according to a 1988 report by the Guardian.

Charles escaped uninjured, but one member of their party was seriously injured. Another, Major Hugh Lindsay, did not survive. Lindsay was an aide to the Queen and a close friend of Charles.

Charles "was visibly distressed" and "weeping" when the rescue helicopter picked him up, The Guardian reported a day after the accident.

After the accident, Diana, Charles, and Ferguson flew to London to deliver the major's body to his wife, Sarah Lindsay, now Sarah Horsely.

Charles returned to Klosters one year later and would return in subsequent years with his sons William and Harry, but Diana never returned to the resort, according to a book written by her bodyguard.
