Fun with friends after a day in the snow

The summer season is enjoyed by many Grisons residents and newcomers like you with sports such as biking, hiking and golf. The river in the Rhine Gorge is just as fascinating as the Ela Park with its mountain streams and stone steps. Motorcyclists appreciate the popular mountain pass roads of San Bernardino, Splügen, Julier, Lukmanier and Oberalp, which meander past meadows full of Alpine herbs and bell-bearing cows. In addition, once you experience your first Alpine glow at sunrise or sunset, you will want to tarry even longer.

Chur - Our go-to destination

EHL and SSTH students shopping in the town of Chur

We are only 10 minutes away from Chur, which is not only the capital of the canton of Graubünden, but also the oldest city in Switzerland. The first findings date back to the Stone Age. The old town is reminiscent of the imprint of an advent calendar, as the small houses with their pointed roofs crowd together and form cozy lanes. Walk around the town and stroll though the inviting shops and cafés surrounded by snow-capped mountains and the serenity of nature.

Discover Chur - The Swiss Alpine City

EHL SSTH students discover Switzerland and nearby Europe in their free time

From Chur you can get anywhere, it is the connecting city between north and south. It is an important traffic junction, where trains and buses meet. You will you notice that the south cannot be too far away, because there are many "tropical" nights here in summer (at least 20°C at night). The great European cities like Munich, Milan and Paris are only a few hours away and worth a weekend excursion.

High mountains or southern ambience, cosmopolitan flair or untouched landscapes: every region in Switzerland has its own characteristics and all are at your feet.
