Chur Train Station – Gateway to the Alps
Chur is the main transit hub for Graubünden and a key stop for Switzerland’s most iconic scenic trains — the Glacier Express and Bernina Express. If you’re heading to Lenzerheide, Flims/Laax, Arosa, Davos, St. Moritz/Engadin, or taking a panorama journey across the Alps, you’ll likely pass through here. It’s clean, easy with kids, and has everything you need for smooth travel days.
