Kiwi slang meets Swiss city.
Chur Bro

Did you know that Chur is an actual city in Switzerland? And not just any city – it's the oldest in the entire country. Yet despite its age, Chur is anything but outdated. Nestled between mountains, it offers a unique mix of culture, nature, and urban flair. From charming old town alleys to modern museums, hiking trails, and local cuisine – there's something here for everyone.
You say Chur when you’re stoked. We say Chur when we’re home.
Good to know.
