Freibad Obere Au
The outdoor pool with what is probably the largest sunbathing lawn far and wide and with a view of the mountains.

Description

The large Obere Au outdoor pool in Chur is located by the Rhine at the foot of the Calanda mountain. It is characterised by the extensive sunbathing lawn with shady trees and views of the mountains around Chur. The 50m-pool with 8 lanes is suitable for swimming lengths, while the learning pool with its wide slide and a tube slide offers plenty of fun for children and the spacious children's paddling pool will lure even the youngest to the water. Sports enthusiasts can let off some steam during table tennis, at the group fitness area or at the pirate themed playground. If you're hungry, you can grill your own food in the barbecue area, get a snack from the Khurer Gnusswaga (food truck) or eat at the Obere Au sports restaurant.

The play afternoons on Wednesdays and Saturdays during the summer holidays will be held at the outdoor pool Obere Au (instead of the indoor pool). They will not take place in case of bad weather. Further information: Play afternoons
