Selfranga is a fraction of the municipality of Klosters-Serneus in the canton of Graubünden in Switzerland . It consists of Oberselfranga , Mälcheti , Rufena and Egga and was originally a workers' settlement.

Selfranga is characterized by some preserved old wooden houses as well as many new residential and holiday or weekend houses. There is a ski lift and since 2004 a golf course. The Selfranga lift is remarkable in that it was built as the world's second tow ski lift after the Bolgen lift in Davos in 1936. Today's lift is more recent. In the area of ​​the ski lift there used to be a semi-professional ski jump (probably around K50) with a brick take-off table. Competitions were held regularly. The Selfranga ski hut, a small, rustic restaurant with a sun terrace, is located in the former run-off zone of the ski jump, roughly in the middle of the ski lift. A second ski jump was located below the Graggenegg lookout point with a run-off zone in the Stütz in the area of ​​the access road to Selfranga.

In the past there was a place with the field name "Im Bad" above the gorge path between Klosters and Davos-Laret. It was a healing spring that was used as a bathing facility for centuries. The information on this is very incomplete. The entire area was heaped up during the construction of the Klosters bypass and the Vereina tunnel .

Klosters-Selfranga is the car loading station at the north portal of the Vereina tunnel of the Rhaetian Railway .
