Tschiertschen

Tschiertschen combines the quiet rhythm of a high Alpine settlement with close ties to Chur, reflecting its position on the mountainside above the Schanfigg valley. The Plessur shapes this valley as it flows towards Chur, while the village occupies a notably higher hillside setting. Tschiertschen’s compact centre retains a Walser character in its traditional wooden houses; Walser settlers helped shape communities across this part of the Alps from the Middle Ages onward. Walking routes lead into the surrounding mountain terrain in summer, while winter sports remain part of local life.
