📍 Venue
Hotel Fravi – Veia Granda 8, 7440 Andeer, Switzerland
Hotel Fravi is the confirmed playing venue. The map coordinates 46.604710, 9.426440 point to the hotel in Andeer.
🚆 How to Get There
Andeer lies on the north–south route through Graubünden. A common public-transport approach is rail to Thusis followed by PostBus toward Andeer. Drivers can reach the village via the A13 corridor and then navigate to Veia Granda 8.
For air travel, Zürich is the principal large international gateway; continue by rail toward Chur/Thusis and then local transport.
🏨 Accommodation / Travel & Stay
Hotel Fravi is both venue and a natural accommodation option. Hotel contact used in published property information: +41 81 660 01 01, info@fravi-hotel.ch.
Ask Swiss Chess Tour whether an official chess room block or package applies before booking the hotel separately. Andeer is a small resort/spa village, so proximity to the venue can matter more than in a large city.
🔎 Verified Source Hierarchy
The Chess-Results page links the organizer homepage, a direct registration route, a playing schedule and a downloadable “ANDEER SPA OPEN 2027” PDF. Swiss Chess Tour should therefore be treated as the controlling source for fees and timetable.

📝 Registration Workflow & Conditions
Use the registration link reached from the Chess-Results / Swiss Chess Tour pages. Before payment, confirm the 2027 fee, cancellation rule and whether the organizer uses a rating list cutoff or special hotel package; these details should not be inferred from older editions.
♟️ Format / Section Planning
The tournament is a five-round 90+30 weekend Swiss. With only five rounds, each result has substantial standings impact and there is limited recovery from a missed first session, so Friday arrival planning matters.
🌍 Practical Player Planning
Andeer is normally reached by rail to Thusis followed by PostBus/road. Verify the last connection into Andeer if arriving Friday evening and confirm the Sunday return connection before booking a tight onward train or flight.
Hotel Fravi is both the playing venue and a spa hotel. Staying on site minimizes transport and can be useful between rounds, but players should separately confirm room rate, breakfast, spa inclusion and tournament booking conditions.
The venue’s exact address is Veia Granda 8. Swiss mountain routes can be affected by seasonal traffic or timetable changes, so save the venue and organizer contacts offline and recheck public transport shortly before travel.

♟️ About SWISS CHESS TOUR
SWISS CHESS TOUR is a Swiss chess tournament organization led by Claudio Boschetti and based in Melano Val Mara, Ticino, Switzerland. Rather than operating as a conventional chess club, it specializes in organizing over-the-board tournaments at locations throughout Switzerland. Its calendar combines city opens, Alpine tournaments, lakeside events, senior competitions, amateur tournaments, rapid and blitz events, and larger chess festivals. Most classical competitions offer FIDE international rating, often together with Swiss national and German DWZ rating.
The organization runs more than 30 tournaments per year, with many events using compact weekend schedules. SWISS CHESS TOUR has developed recurring tournament destinations in Basel, Lugano-Paradiso, Mendrisio/Capolago, Lenzerheide, Flims, San Bernardino, Schaffhausen, Pfäffikon, Davos, Locarno, Wil, and other Swiss locations. Hotel venues are an important part of its concept. Therefore, players can often combine tournament participation with accommodation at or near the playing hall.
Claudio Boschetti is the founder and principal organizer behind SWISS CHESS TOUR and handles tournament planning, venue selection, entries, marketing, and player communication. His organization has also taken responsibility for major competitions of the Swiss Chess Federation, including the Swiss Bundesturnier in 2025 and 2026. Following a busy summer calendar, the next SWISS CHESS TOUR event is the Mendrisio Lake Summer Open & Blitz from September 4–6, 2026. Further tournaments are already scheduled throughout autumn and winter 2026.
📜 Development of the Tournament Series
SWISS CHESS TOUR has built its identity around frequent tournament opportunities rather than one annual flagship event. Boschetti has explained that he searches for suitable destinations and then uses his professional experience in project management and marketing to develop new chess events.
A major priority is the playing environment. The organization regularly selects hotels and attractive tourist destinations where players have sufficient space at the board and accompanying family members can enjoy the location.
This model has produced a diverse calendar covering urban, Alpine, lakeside, and resort destinations. The Basel Xmas Festival, for example, has been organized at the Mövenpick Hotel Basel since 2022 and has developed into one of the larger recurring events in the SWISS CHESS TOUR program.
🏆 Swiss Bundesturnier
An important milestone came when SWISS CHESS TOUR assumed responsibility for the traditional Swiss Bundesturnier, one of the major competitions on the Swiss Chess Federation calendar.
The organization staged its first Bundesturnier in 2025 in Pfäffikon SZ. It then organized the tournament again from May 14–17, 2026 in Basel, bringing the event back to the city for the first time in 24 years.
The Basel edition attracted 384 players across five traditional sections: Hauptturnier I, Hauptturnier II, Hauptturnier III, Seniorenturnier I, and Seniorenturnier II. GM Li Min Peng won Hauptturnier I and successfully defended his title as Bundesmeister.
Claudio Boschetti served as the principal organizer, while Dr. Urs Fazis was Tournament Director and IA Tiziana Balzarini Chief Arbiter. The successful event further strengthened SWISS CHESS TOUR’s role within Switzerland’s national tournament infrastructure.
🏔️ Alpine, City and Lakeside Chess
A distinctive feature of SWISS CHESS TOUR is its use of different Swiss destinations rather than a single permanent venue.
The Lenzerheide Amateur – Swiss Alpine Open brings weekend chess to the Graubünden mountains, while Flims and Davos provide additional Alpine tournament destinations. San Bernardino has hosted both general and senior events.
In Ticino, the calendar includes competitions around Lugano-Paradiso, Mendrisio/Capolago, Locarno, and Serpiano. Meanwhile, events in Basel, Schaffhausen, Wohlen, Wil, and Pfäffikon extend the program across other parts of Switzerland.
Many competitions use a familiar classical format of five rounds with 90 minutes plus a 30-second increment per move. Longer festivals may use six or seven rounds, while additional rapid and blitz tournaments often complement the main event.
🌟 2026 Tournament Program
SWISS CHESS TOUR maintains an especially extensive schedule in 2026. Earlier events included the Basel Spring Open, Lugano-Paradiso Easter Festival, Locarno Weekend Open, Serpiano Open, Swiss Bundesturnier, San Bernardino events, ZürichSee Festival, Wil 2Days Open, and Wohlen Amateur Swiss City Open.
The next tournament is the Mendrisio Lake Summer Open & Blitz, scheduled for September 4–6, 2026 in Capolago. It combines a five-round FIDE-rated classical tournament with a seven-round FIDE Blitz competition.
Further confirmed events include the Lugano-Paradiso One Day Open on September 19, the ZÜRICHSee October Festival from October 2–4, Lenzerheide Amateur from October 16–18, and FLIMS Exclusive Swiss Alpine Open from October 23–25.
The winter calendar continues with the Davos Ski Alpine Chess Open from November 27–29, Schaffhausen 2Days Open on December 5–6, and the Basel Xmas Festival from December 26–30, 2026. SWISS CHESS TOUR also organizes selected events outside Switzerland, including the München Chess Happening in December 2026.
