With over 13,000 years of history and stunning mountain views, Chur is far more than just a stop on the Glacier Express or Bernina Express routes.

We also share why Chur, Switzerland is the perfect base for day trips to Lenzerheide, Surselva, Flims Laax, and the storybook Heididorf. Plus, find out what to eat with local favorites like Capuns, Maluns, and Churer Fleischtorte, how the Chur guest card helps you save, and what it’s like to ride the Bernina or Glacier Express from this underrated Swiss gem.
