Winter village tour Churwalden

Already during the Roman times and throughout the Middle Ages, a road led from Chur through the Churwaldner valley and over the Septimer to Italy. As a major post station with horse exchanges, Churwalden was optimally connected with the main towns along the Engadin route, as well as with St. Gallen, Zurich, Basel, and Lucerne. Spa guests enjoyed the pure invigorating alpine air flavored with the balsam scent of the fir and larch forests, and the excellent cow and goat milk whey. This marked the beginning of a tourist resort. Today, Churwalden is the entry point to the holiday destination Arosa – Lenzerheide. The traditionally pure alpine air also favors the production of dried meat, as the cradle of Bündnerfleisch and Salsize is in Churwalden.
