With a population of approximately 35,000, it is also the capital of the holiday canton of Grisons. Chur is also the only Swiss city with its own summer and winter sports region called Brambruesch, which lies 1,100 to 2,176 metres above sea level. The local mountain Dreibuendenstein is reachable by gondola straight from the historical part of the city. Due to its favoured location, Chur enjoys sunshine even when other Swiss cities are covered in fog. http://www.universitieshandbook.com
