2024 Chur Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in November)

【Switzerland】Take the Bernina Express through the Alps.

🇨🇭Traveling in Switzerland, taking a scenic train🚞 is the best way to start exploring. A comprehensive railway network helps tourists travel around Switzerland painlessly, and with just a simple purchase of a Swiss Travel Pass, you can take most of the scenic trains, and many attraction tickets are also included. 🇨🇭Several scenic trains are well-known within the country, with the Bernina Express being the most famous. The train travels from Chur/St.Moritz to Tirano, passing through 55 tunnels and over 196 bridges along the way, where every shot is a masterpiece. 🌉The most famous is the iconic Landwasser Viaduct, the viaduct, the Rhaetian Railway, and parts of the region have been included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. The train winds around the high towers and plunges down, giving the sensation of riding a roller coaster🎢. 🚂When visiting Switzerland, I highly recommend taking a scenic train, and personally, I think the Bernina Express is the best part!

Bernina - most scenic train in the world

Bernina Express is regarded as one of the most beautiful panoramic trains in the world. The Bernina Express is a direct train from Chur (Switzerland🇨🇭) to Tirano in Italy. This excursion should be included in your bucket list. My ride was back in November 19. Why Bernina? In just 4 hours (one way), you'll see stunning variations in the landscape, from high alpine scenery on the Bernina Pass to a Mediterranean atmosphere in the Poschiavo valley just before Tirano. The Landwasser Viaduct is a majestic sight. An impressive feat of engineering and construction, the viaduct was built in 1902 and features pillars that stand at a towering 65 metres. En route to Tirano, trains do stop at Alp Grum. Alp Grüm can only be accessed by train or on foot. The station provides impressive panoramic views, sweeping across the Poschiavo Valley and drawing your eye to the Bergamasker Alps beyond. How to get there? : Head to Chur from Zurich Main Station. The journey takes 1h 14m and departs every 30 minutes. Would advise to get early morning train since the first Bernina train starts at 08:32 How to get discount? : Swiss Travel Pass – Travel on the Bernina Express is included with the Swiss Travel Pass (seat reservation is required) #berninaexpress #switzerland #panoramicview

#tripaway The Chur Old Town is very pretty, with a lot of old and interesting buildings, shops and restaurants. It is mostly a no-car zone. We love the old town of Chur, it is such a nice place to wander and window shop, take in the parish church and then walk up to the cathedral. There are plenty of places to eat and drink. Just five minutes walk up the gentle hill from the main station through the main shopping street. #tripaway

I want to take a train, but in Switzerland 🇨🇭❤️🤩

Switzerland is often described as beautiful and highly developed due to its stunning landscapes, efficient public services, and high quality of life. The country is famous for its picturesque mountains, pristine lakes, and charming villages, making it a popular destination for tourists and outdoor enthusiasts. Switzerland is well known for being one of the most expensive countries to visit in Europe, (if not the world!), but it is still possible to enjoy a trip to Switzerland on a budget. Not only can you visit Switzerland without breaking the bank but you can have an incredible trip at the same time. #train #switzerland #snow

The Albula-Bernina railway line was built in the early 20th century and is one of the world-famous narrow-gauge railways. It travels through the Alps along the way. It is an important alpine railway line that has been preserved so far, at a high altitude and with the world. The same kind of railway line has a larger gap, which is famous for its architectural structure, technical achievements and integration with the environment. The Bernina Express can be seen very close to the three major glaciers: after the Pontresina, it will be next to the Mortrasch Glacier to the highest peak of the Bernina (2253 meters above sea level) Go on until you reach Italy. The train passes directly through the Alps and you can enjoy the beautiful scenery. The train takes passengers from the oldest city of Switzerland, Chur, to the misty and bleak peaks, along with spectacular Mortra glaciers. This line connects the cold north to the warm south and is known as the most beautiful route between the North and the South.

I like to see Cul's focus on the commanding heights of the small town of Brambresch. Although it is just a cable car station on the hill behind Chur, in the heart of the Chur people, it is a good place for weekend sports and fitness. Even in this rainy day, you can see mountain bikers who are covered in mud and fly down the mountain. You can also see the bicycles specially prepared for mountain bikers in the mountains. Facilities. Hiking enthusiasts can hike from the Brambresch cable car station to the mountain lakes not far away, which takes about 1.5 hours each way. The cable car, in addition to bicycle lovers directly dive down the mountain, there are many locals along the mountain trails to the mountains. Flowers of various colors spread throughout the valley. The mountain lodge in the distance is looming over the clouds, giving me the illusion of being in a fairyland. Everything here cannot be described by the word "beauty"! Swiss people are so passionate about life, each family design their own small courtyard, it is really the perfect combination of man and nature. Imagine if you have such a mountain hut, have coffee in the yard, look at the newspaper, and look up from time to time to see the beauty of the distance. Its so pleasant. When the cable car went down the mountain to leave here, I didn't expect the sky to slowly clear. The blue sky, the white clouds, the green land, and the alpine towns that are faintly visible in the distance, everything is so beautiful.

Chur, in my impression, is associated with the white nouns of ski resort, snow world, winter paradise, but this time it was really early spring, I thought it was just passing by, but I did not expect to give me an accident. Surprise. This important railway hub in eastern Switzerland does not look as beautiful as other Swiss towns, but when it comes to the old town, the squares, churches and old streets washed by the rain are so charming. Under the drizzle, sporadic past a few tourists, less daily excitement, more weekends of ease. The mountain behind it is surrounded by sparse clouds, close your eyes and take a breath of fresh air, feel the silence of this moment, and think that time is still here, so that I can always stay away from the troubles.
