From urban to alpine
Where city life meets the mountains
At the heart of the region, its main town Chur leads the way as Graubünden’s modern centre for business, education and culture. With Fachhochschule Graubünden (FHGR), the Pädagogische Hochschule, first-class vocational schools and a vibrant old town, Chur offers urban convenience and diverse career paths in industry, services and public administration.
The surrounding municipalities of Arosa, Churwalden and Tschiertschen-Praden complement the urban offering with an outstanding range of sporting and leisure opportunities. From childcare places and varied education pathways to spontaneous trips into Graubünden’s mountains after work, the Plessur region offers maximum flexibility for modern living and working.
