Chur Altstadt railway station is a small railway station (essentially a street halt) on the Chur–Arosa railway (the "Arosabahn") of the Rhaetian Railway (RhB). It is situated near the old town (Altstadt) of Chur, on Plessurquai by the Plessur river, less than a kilometre (0.76 km) from the main railway station of the city. It was called Chur Stadt railway station until 8 December 2018. The halt is closer to the shops, bars and attractions of the old town than the main station. A number of local and Postauto (see below) bus services converge at Malteser, located nearby where Grabenstrasse and Engadinstrasse converge. A footbridge ("Praximerbrüggli") connects the halt with Lindenquai, on the other side of the river.

During the Swiss Reformation, the Catholic population of the city were confined to a ghetto enclosed around the bishop's court beside the cathedral. It is a Swiss heritage site of national significance.The first building on the site probably dates from the first half of the 5th century. The second church was built by Bishop Tello at some time before his death in 773. The current building was built between 1154 and 1270. In 1272 it was dedicated to the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The round arch window along the center axis is the largest medieval window in Graubünden. The late-Gothic high altar was completed in 1492 by Jakob Russ.The cathedral was renovated from 2001 to 2007.

Araschgen is a village near Chur in the Plessur district, Switzerland. It is part of the municipality of Churwalden. The village was first mentioned in the mid-14th century as Giraschga. The mineral springs in the village were first mentioned in the 16th century and were rediscovered in 1863. During the late 19th century, a mineral spa and water bottling plant were built between Araschgen and Passugg. The Chur-Tschiertschen road was built through the village from 1887 to 1894. In the late 20th century the village became a bedroom community of Chur.In 2014 the village kindergarten closed due to budget concerns. It was reopened with eight students for the 2016/17 school year to reduce crowding in Chur schools.

Sassal railway station was a small railway station (essentially a halt) on the Chur-Arosa line (the "Arosabahn") of the Rhaetian Railway (RhB). It was situated on the southeastern outskirts of Chur, by the Plessur river, between the city suburb of Sand and the settlement of Meiersboden. The small community of Sassal is located on the other side of the river, on the hillside near Meiersboden. The RhB has closed Sassal halt(that is, passengers can no longer embark/alight there, though trains continue to run through on the line) due to the danger of falling rocks, low passenger numbers, and problems getting on and off trains at this location. This location has suffered from notable landslides in recent times - the mountainside to the rear of the station is unstable - with the railway line and road sometimes obstructed by rockfall. An alternative public transport service is provided by Chur town bus services which run through to Meiersboden. The nearest open railway station is now the RhB's Chur Stadt, a street halt, around 1.5 km away towards the centre of Chur.

The Plessur is a river, 33 km (21 mi) long, and a right tributary of the Rhine running through the Swiss canton of Graubünden. Its head is near Arosa in the Plessur Range. It then flows through the Schanfigg valley before emptying into the Rhine at Chur. The Langwieser Viaduct, an early reinforced concrete railway bridge constructed in 1914, spans the Plessur near Langwies. Its main tributaries include the Rabiosa, the Welschtobelbach, Sapünerbach and Fondeierbach.
