The Ap'n Daun climbing centre offers everything a climbing enthusiast could want over an area of 2,000 square meters: a main hall including gallery with various wall structures, two boulder rooms, a training site with a practice wall, and a balcony with a spacious outdoor climbing area - mountain view included. The climbing centre thus offers attractive climbing opportunities for all levels of difficulty. Numerous indoor and outdoor courses for young and old, beginners and professionals, complete the facilities. The equipment can be rented on site.

Immerse yourself in the thrilling world of this vertical sport. Have a go at climbing and bouldering, whether as an individual, couple, family or group. We will guide you through this fascinating leisure activity – in a safe, competent and fun way. Our centre, complete with bistro and shop, is open all year round.

Padelta is the driving force behind the development of padel in Switzerland. The facilities have the best courts and a state-of-the-art infrastructure as well as the best padel coaches in Switzerland - since May 2024 also in Chur. 

Five varied trails in three levels of difficulty (blue / red / black) are available on Chur's local mountain. There is an altitude difference of 1,000 metres between the starting point at 1,595 metres and the valley station at 595 metres. The trails are peppered with numerous elements such as steep wall curves, jumps, northshores, drops, root and stone passages. The breathtaking view into the Rhine valley makes your pulse beat faster. The arrival at the finish in the Alpine City of Chur is unique: where else can you enjoy a coffee or a ice cream in the cosy ambience of a car-free old town before climbing back onto the cableways and looking forward to the next descent.

• View Bikepark map

The bike trails, known since the MTB Swiss Championships 2009, have been steadily expanded since then. Many returning visitors describe the Alpenbikepark as one of the best bike parks in Switzerland due to its varied set-up and well-maintained tracks. The constant expansions over the years have made the park a real insider tip. 

Due to the relatively low altitude of the bike park (lower distances: 1170 - 595 m, upper distances: 1595 - 1170 m) the Alpenbikepark is also an established attraction in the low season. The pre-season in spring starts unsually already in April and the autumn season often lasts well into the wintertime.
