- Areas of today's town of Chur were inhabited from the Neolithic Age to Roman times, as archaeological excavations prove. The first finds even date back to the Palaeolithic Age. This is why Chur calls itself the oldest town in Switzerland.
The history of Chur goes back a long way. 13,000 years ago, Paleolithic hunter-gatherers lived for a time in the present-day town area. There is evidence of permanent settlements in the Bronze and Iron Ages (ca. 2200-15 BC). Under Emperor Augustus (15 BC), the Romans conquered the region and incorporated it into their world empire.
Chur lies at the crossroads of several routes: from the Rhine Valley to the valleys of the Oberland/Surselva or Schanfigg and over the passes of Julier, Septimer, San Bernardino and Splügen to the south. Thus it is that Chur, which is conveniently located for traffic, was already mentioned early on (around 280) in a Roman road register. Chur has experienced an eventful destiny as a Roman vicus, bishop's and later guild town, suburb of the League of God's House and cantonal capital of Graubünden.
The picturesque Arcas square, the imposing Cathedral, the fascinating Roman excavations: there are numerous sights to discover in Switzerland's oldest city. Embark on a tour of discovery!
As you walk through the gate, you will enter the charming old town of Chur. The narrow streets are lined with historic buildings, making it an excellent place to explore on foot.
In winter, Chur is transformed into a winter wonderland. You can expect to see the town covered in a blanket of snow, creating a picturesque backdrop for your walk. Make sure to wear warm clothing and comfortable shoes as you navigate the snowy streets.
As you wander through the old town, take in the sights and sounds of winter. Admire the beautifully decorated shop windows, enjoy the twinkling lights, and listen to the crunch of snow beneath your feet. You can also stop by quaint cafés and restaurants to warm up with a hot drink or indulge in some Swiss cuisine.
While exploring, don't miss the Chur Cathedral, a significant landmark in the town. Its towering spire and stunning architecture make it a must-visit site. Additionally, you can visit the nearby Town Hall Square, which often hosts a charming Christmas market during the winter months.
Continue your walk through the old town, and you will come across other historical attractions such as the Bishop's Residence and the Old Town Hall. These buildings showcase Chur's rich history and add to the ambiance of your winter stroll.
As you reach the end of your walk, you can head back towards the Obertor or extend your excursion by exploring the surrounding area. Chur is located in a picturesque valley surrounded by snow-capped mountains, providing plenty of opportunities for winter hikes or skiing adventures.
Overall, walking from the Obertor in Chur during the winter allows you to experience the town's rich history while enjoying the magic of the snowy season. Don't forget to take some time to appreciate the enchanting scenery and capture memorable winter photos along the way.
