Swiss National Shooting Festival 2026
«Tradition und Passion», «tradition et passion», «tradizione e passione», «tradiziun e passiun» – stands for a connection to history and openness to new ideas.
In the heart of the Alps.
A celebration for Switzerland.
From 5 June to 5 July 2026, the entire canton of Graubünden will be transformed into a stage for Swiss shooting sports: the 59th Swiss Shooting Festival will bring together over 36,000 shooters and around 100,000 guests.
Chur, as the festival centre with the Rossboden grounds, will be at the heart of this major national event – nestled in the impressive Alpine landscape and supported by over 20 other venues throughout the canton.
Experience precision, tradition and genuine Swiss festive spirit – and enjoy the cultural and scenic diversity of Graubünden at the same time.
