Audio Guide of Calanda Bräu

Guided tours of the brewery are generally held from Monday to Friday and require advance booking, as walk-in visits are not accepted. You can arrange a group booking by contacting them directly through the official Calanda website.

The price usually varies depending on the size of the group and the type of tasting included, typically around CHF 15–20 per person. It is advisable to request an updated quote directly through their contact section to confirm group rates.

The full experience, including the tour of the production facilities and the beer tasting, usually lasts between 1.5 and 2 hours. It is the perfect amount of time to learn about the brewing process at a relaxed pace.

Founded in 1780, Calanda is an icon of Graubünden and is famous for using pure water from Alpine springs in its brewing. Visiting it means stepping into the tradition of the most famous beer of the Swiss mountains.

Since it is an indoor activity, it is perfect at any time of year, although visiting on weekday mornings guarantees seeing the brewery in full operation. In summer, the experience pairs wonderfully with a walk in the nearby Alps.

Due to the industrial nature of the plant, some production areas may have limited access or stairs. It is strongly recommended to contact them in advance to check the accessibility of that day's specific route and the tasting room.

The brewery is very close to Chur Old Town, the oldest city in Switzerland, full of historic charm. You can also take the cable car to Brambrüesch and enjoy spectacular Alpine views.

Use public transport to get there (Chur West station), so you can enjoy the beer tasting without worrying about driving. Also, wear comfortable closed shoes, as you will be entering a real industrial area.
