About this activity

Chur has been continuously inhabited for 5,000 years, which makes it Switzerland's oldest city — and its alleys, gates, and fountains have had plenty of time to collect secrets.

This app-led scavenger hunt takes you through Chur on foot, using phone-based riddles to guide you from one landmark to the next. No guide, no fixed start time.

• Pass through the Obertor, the medieval upper gate into the old town

• Cross the Arcas, the postcard square lined with centuries-old townhouses

• Unwind in Fontanapark, dedicated to the city's great poet Conrad Ferdinand Meyer's rival, Fontana

Available in 24 languages including English, French, German, Spanish, Italian — see the full list when booking and choose yours when you start the game in the app.

Around 2 hours - any group size.

By the last riddle, the oldest city in Switzerland will feel surprisingly young at heart.
