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 Obere Au Take Away or Khurer Gnusswaga (food truck) or eat at the Obere Au sports restaurant.

Play afternoons from 11. June at the outdoor pool
The play afternoons on Wednesdays and Saturdays from 11. June until 9. August will be held at the Obere Au outdoor pool (instead of the indoor pool). They will not take place in case of bad weather. Further information: Play afternoons

Free transition to the indoor pool
The free transfer between the Obere Au indoor and outdoor pools via the terrace of the sports restaurant, which was introduced last year, was very popular with customers. That's why this will be offered again this summer.

In 2021 Swiss Aquatics has included the swimming pool of the Obere Au outdoor pool in the official list of Olympic pools, category A. Category A are pools for the highest demands that are suitable for holding major competitions. Diploma Olympic pool, cat. A

By the way: There is also a swimming pool in Chur town centre, called "Badi Sand".

Kneipp-Anlage Obere Au
Wellness for your feet - the new Kneipp facility at the Mühlbach stream at Obere Au, Chur.

Description

Take a barefooted walk first on the grainy gravel of the footpath, then on the warm, rough wood of the footbridge and finally feeling the cool, refreshing water of the Mühlbach stream under your feet - the new, small Kneipp facility invigorates mind and body! It can be found on the walkway along the Obertor Mühlbach stream between the skate park and the boccia facility on the Obere Au in Chur.

Tips for use

  • The prerequisite for cold water application is a warm body. Never tread water with cold feet. Warm up beforehand with running or gymnastics.
  • When treading water, lift the feet out of the water with each step ("stork walk"). Only stay in the water until the legs feel a strong cold stimulus (max. 1 minute). Then wipe off the water and warm up again.

Kneipp hydrotherapy

Water as a carrier of thermal, mechanical and chemical stimuli causes the organism to react in a way that promotes health. Our unconscious basic functions such as breathing, circulation, heat balance, digestion, metabolism and so on are regulated by hydrotherapeutic stimuli, and the all-important immune system is activated.
