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.
