Obere Au outdoor pool

The Obere Au outdoor pool is closed. We will reopen for the summer season on May 10, 2025, and look forward to welcoming you then.

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 12. June at the outdoor pool
The play afternoons on Wednesdays and Saturdays from 12. June until 10. August 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

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
