About Chur

Chur, the capital of the canton of Graubünden, is widely regarded as Switzerland's oldest city, situated in the Alpine Rhine valley at around 600 metres above sea level. Home to roughly 40,000 residents, it serves as the region's economic and cultural hub. The city is a natural starting point for the surrounding mountain landscape — including the Calfreisertobelviadukt, the Talstation Pradaschier cable car base, and peaks such as Spundisköpfe and Pez Regina. Visitors also encounter public art installations like Dialoog and Way Ahead within the city itself.
