Hello Duppeuplo53

The name of the Italian high-speed trains is Frecciarossa, but I never heard that such trains are in Chur, they have no authorization to run in Switzerland. Or do you mean perhaps the old TEE (Trans Europ Express) of SBB Historic?

Or a SBB Astoro, built in Italy?

You probably saw this train:

This is actually a Swiss train. It is a SBB RABe 501, “Giruno”. Nr. 4 has been painted in a special promotional livery with the Italian flag at one end, and the Swiss on the other. This to promote the Zurich - Milano EC service where these sets mostly run. However some IC 3 (Zurich - Chur and vv.) services are also operated with Giruno’s and so this one ended up in Chur.
