ROTAUF was born out of the idea of doing good for people and the environment. They follow this commitment to this day - with consistent passion. Since 2013, the brand from Chur has been pursuing the goal of creating high-performance clothing that is both socially and ecologically responsible. ROTAUF was one of the first outdoor brands to dispense with PFC impregnations – a trend that many are now following. In 2016, they joined the strict Greenpeace Detox Commitment and banned over 430 hazardous chemicals from their production. ROTAUF is the only Swiss outdoor brand and one of 3 brands worldwide to take this consistent step. With Bünder wool from Disentis, ROTAUF uses a locally available wool as a highly functional fleece, which proves how by-products of animal husbandry can be used sensibly.

The new pedestrian connection in Chur not only bridges the difference in height between the Plessur and Halde school grounds, but turns it into an eventful path with a rapid succession of views of the cathedral, the old town, the mountains, and the Plessur and Rhine Valleys.
Although the connection leads under a road, it runs above ground as much as possible, closely following the slope of the topography and thus giving you the feeling of being «in the countryside». Most of the structure touches the rock, is carved out of the rock, or lies snug against the rock. The roof over this massive base is made of weather-proof steel.

St. Martin's Church was originally a Romanesque church built in the 8th century and conse-crated in 769 AD. It was named after St. Martin, Bishop of Tours. The church was largely destroyed during the great fire of 1464. It was rebuilt in late Gothic style and reused parts of its Carolingian predecessor. Construction was completed in 1491 and it is the largest late-Gothic building in Graubünden. This church in the Old Town was a centre and base for the Reformation in Chur from 1523. Since 1919, the three glass windows by artist Augusto Giacometti have been a special feature of this church. They depict the Christmas story.
