Place Arcas

From the Gänggelimarkt and the Chur Festival to the Hit Parade, everything takes place on the Arcasplatz in the heart of Chur's Old Town. The triangular square, surrounded by rows of historic houses, is especially appealing in summer, with its many cafés and restaurants.

 
Train to Arosa

The journey gets off to a leisurely start in Chur. But the sedate trundle through the town is soon over as the red train suddenly begins to climb up into the mountains, where Arosa awaits with fresh mountain air, sunshine and a dose of humour.

The Alphorn group "Arcas"

Wir sind eine bunt zusammengewürfelte Gruppe von Erwachsenen und Jugendlichen, welche Freude am Musizieren, insbesondere am Hörnlen haben. Bei unseren Blasübungen können wir so richtig relaxen, meditieren und entspannen. Damit wir an unseren Auftritten unsere Nervosität und unser Lampenfieber besser in den Griff bekommen, demonstrieren wir unser Können so ab und zu auf dem Arcasplatz in Chur. Fast nirgends finden wir so einen idealen, autofreien Platz hier mitten in Chur, Akustik und Hall sind optimal. Und deshalb nennen wir uns Alphorngruppe Arcas.
