1. Old Town Chur Chur
The Old Swiss Confederacy began as a late medieval alliance between the communities of the valleys in the Central Alps, at the time part of the Holy Roman Empire, to facilitate the management of common interests such as free trade and to ensure the peace along the important trade routes through the mountains. The Hohenstaufen emperors had granted these valleys reichsfrei status in the early 13th century. As reichsfrei regions, the cantons of Uri, Schwyz, and Unterwalden were under the direct authority of the emperor without any intermediate liege lords and thus were largely autonomous. With the rise of the Habsburg dynasty, the kings and dukes of Habsburg sought to extend their influence over this region and to bring it under their rule; as a consequence, a conflict ensued between the Habs...

15. Giger Bar Chur
A Giger Bar is a bar themed and modelled by the Swiss artist H. R. Giger. There are two Giger Bars: the first, the H.R. Giger Bar in Chur, Switzerland, which opened in 1992, and the second is The Museum HR Giger Bar, located in Château St. Germain, Gruyères, Switzerland, which opened on April 12, 2003. A third Giger bar was located in Shirokanedai, Tokyo in the late 1980s. Giger dissolved his involvement with this location after facing frustrations with Japanese building codes and with the Japanese company behind the bar, which created the bar after only rough preliminary sketches. Giger had wanted private booths that functioned as individual elevators which traveled up and down the interior four stories of the design. This design was problematic given restrictions caused by earthquake r...

World's Most Beautiful Railway - The Bernina Express

Shortly after the construction of the Gotthard tunnel, Switzerland pulled off another pioneering achievement: the construction of the Thusis - St. Moritz railway line between 1899 and 1903. This opened the Upper Engadine to tourists. The Rhaetian Railway still passes over the same bridges and through the same loop tunnels. A still greater challenge was the subsequent construction of the Bernina Railway. No other railway in the world overcomes such steep gradients and winds through such steep curves without the help of a cogwheel.

Schweizer Alpenstadt CHUR

Chur ist die Hauptstadt des Schweizer Gebirgskantons Graubünden. Sie liegt am jungen Alpenrhein, ca. 90 Kilometer südlich der Deutsch-Österreichischen Grenze und etwa 120 Kilometer südöstlich von Zürich. Chur ist die älteste Stadt der Schweiz mit einer Siedlungsgeschichte von über 5000 Jahren. Die historische Altstadt ist äusserst sehenswert und komplett autofrei. Sie bietet ein erstaunlich grosses Angebot an kulturellen Angeboten, Shopping-Möglichkeiten, Cafés und Restaurants sowie Bars und Nightlife.

Chur wird auch Die Alpenstadt genannt, weil die Stadt mitten in den Bergen liegt und trotzdem einen urbanen Charakter hat. Chur verfügt mit ihrem Hausberg Brambrüesch über ein eigenes Sommer- und Wintersportgebiet, welches direkt aus dem Zentrum mittels Bergbahn erschlossen ist. Aufgrund der tiefen Höhenlage von 580 m.ü.M. herrscht ein mildes und beinahe mediterranes Klima. Die Natur ist zum Greifen nah - direkt aus der Stadt können zu Fuss oder per Mountainbike Touren in die eindrückliche Bergwelt unternommen werden. In nur 20 Minuten findet man sich in einer anderen Welt: 1600 m.ü.M. in den Alpen, in einer tiefen Schlucht oder in einer malerischen Flusslandschaft. Die naheliegende Rheinschlucht bietet ein faszinierendes River Rafting Erlebnis durch den Swiss Grand Canyon.

International bekannt ist Chur als Ausgangsort für Bahnreisen mit zwei der berühmtesten Bahnlinien der Welt: dem Bernina Express und dem Glacier Express der Rhätischen Bahn. Dank den guten öffentlichen Verbindungen mit Bahn und Bus ab Chur sind weltberühmte Kurorte wie Davos, Klosters und St. Moritz sowie Freizeitdestinationen wie Arosa, Lenzerheide und Flims-Laax bequem als Tagesausflug erreichbar.
