After breakfast at the Kameha Grand Zurich, we decided to visit Chur, a city in Switzerland that is easy to get to but we haven’t been to before. Upon arriving, we took the Chur Bergbahnen up to Brambrüesch on a mountain on the south side of the city. There was snow on the ground and soon there was heavy snow falling from the sky! After enjoying winter, we descended and had lunch in the Altstadt. We walked through the area, visiting the Martinskirche and Kathedrale St. Mariä Himmelfahrt. We continued on to the Haldenhüttli at a wonderful viewpoint above the Altstadt. On our way back to the train station, we encountered the Swiss Army engaged in a ceremony! After returning to Zurich, we had döner before returning to the hotel to end our last full day of this trip.

After enjoying the view and a tiny bit of snow on the ground, we visited the Lindt Home of Chocolate where we enjoyed some free chocolate and bought some chocolate as well.
