Chur - the hot spot
Chur, whose history goes back to settlements 5000 years ago, is one of the oldest of Swiss towns. It is also the main town of the Canton of Graubünden and is located between 600m (the town centre) and 1800m (the "Fürhörnli") above sea level.
Here you can combine the southern charm of our town with the fresh air of the Engadine Alps. Spend a night in Chur and select between the "Radstadt", "Bergstadt" and "Heididorf" packages.
Radstadt:
This involves taking a mountain bike and cycling around to discover the Graubünden route, the Rhine route and the North-South route on the official Swiss hiking network.
Bergstadt:
This package involves a trip up the Weisshorngipfel on the Arosa Express from where you can admire the Engadine mountain peaks over a tasty meal.
Heididorf: Hop into a horse-drawn coach and go and visit the old Wine Press and the original Heidi house on the Graubünden estate.
