Experiences in Chur

In just 12 minutes, the mountain railway takes you from the Graubünden city of Chur to 1600 metres up to the local mountain Brambrüesch. At the top, hiking trails and a wide mountain panorama over the Graubünden mountains await you.

130 kilometres in one train. The Albula/Bernina railway line forms the heart of the Unesco World Cultural Heritage listing and is regarded as one of the world’s most spectacular routes. The UNESCO route itself covers 122 kilometres from Thusis to Tirano, passing 196 bridges, 55 tunnels and 20 towns along the way.

Walk through the car-free old town of the oldest city in Switzerland. Between winding alleys, boutiques and restaurants, you will immerse yourself in over 5000 years of history.

The romantically lit ice rink in front of the Quader Schoolhouse is THE meeting point in winter. Indulging in some ice-skating on a beautifully lit rink accompanied by suitably lovely music in the middle of the city is a wonderful winter experience.

The Aquamarin adventure pool in Chur is sure to impress not only because of its pleasant water temperature, but also thanks to the numerous facilities that make a day’s bathing here a real pleasure.

Fontana Park is set in the heart of Chur. It is the perfect place to escape the bustle of the city, to enjoy the atmosphere, or to read a book.

One of the three remaining towers on the city walls serves as the Old Town’s southwest entrance and exit. In bygone days, it was on the Ochsenplatz, located just behind the Obertor, that goods were exchanged for the last time before they were taken across the Alps.

The castle at the foot of the Calanda is the highlight of Haldenstein. When the roses flower in the spring, the castle garden is a visual and olfactory feast.
