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.

If you’re taking the Glacier Express, arrive early — boarding is calmer and more organized at this station.
