Chur is the capital of the canton Graubünden and has appr. 40'000 inhabitants. The urban area is 554 m to 2'805 m above sea level. Chur's local mountain Brambrüesch, accessible by cableways directly from the city centre, is almost exactly 1'000 m higher than the city area (1'595 m). The ski area extends to the Dreibündenstein at 2'174 m, accessible by ski lift and chairlift.
Still waters are deep, they say. Chur likes to stay hidden. The city prefers to leave the spotlight to others, such as world champion Lenzerheide or Traildevil Flims. But Chur is also a secret e-mountain bike tip. In the Passugg Gorge we get to the bottom of the quiet little water before we set off on high flights at Chur's local mountain Brambrüesch.
The picturesque Arcas square, the imposing Cathedral, the fascinating Roman excavations: there are numerous sights to discover in Switzerland's oldest city. Embark on a tour of discovery!
The Alpine City is agreeable and genuine, just like the products bearing the Capricorn symbol of the Graubünden ibex. In collaboration with local producers, a whole range of regional products are currently being created. Alpine City tart, Alpine City chocolate and an Alpine City bottle with a schnapps glass are popular souvenirs and take-home gifts from the Alpine City.
The production of the Alpine City products is supervised by alpinavera. This ensures that sufficient local ingredients are also used. The products can be bought in the shops in the Old Town of Chur.
The capital of Graubünden offers a great range of activities for families and children. Numerous playgrounds, open-air and indoor swimming pools, the local mountain Brambrüesch or the ice fields in winter inspire young and old. The three cantonal museums offer exhibitions suitable for children and various outdoor offers and activities as well as numerous excursion destinations in the immediate vicinity invite you to discover.
