Chur

Few cities in Grisons have a history as closely tied to Alpine transit routes as Chur. The cantonal capital occupies the broad Rhine Valley, where the Plessur meets the Alpine Rhine, with mountain slopes rising close beyond its streets. Chur’s compact Old Town is among Switzerland’s oldest continuously inhabited urban areas; its lanes lead to the Episcopal Court and the Cathedral of the Assumption, a landmark shaped by Romanesque and Gothic building phases. Today the city is also a principal rail hub for journeys into Graubünden, including the RhB line to Arosa. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Chur and the Rhine Valley.
