Hi I will be spending 3 days hiking in one of these regions at the end of August.
I am having a difficult time deciding between the 2.
I have been to BO and Engadines on previous trips.
I am looking for days hikes 4-6 hours.
I will be heading to Innsbruck or Lindau after this.
Any input is appreciated!

Appenzell is more open and has a mixture of hills and mountains where as the area around Chur really is mostly mountains. But both areas have tougher and easier hikes to choose from.
Not having hiked in all four areas you mentioned I can't fully compare them but I'd guess that Appenzell would offer a more different terrain from BO and Engadine.
But on the other hand Chur offers some pretty stunning sights with the Via Mala and Ruinaulta/lake Cauma.
I'd check out what kind of hikes you could do in the area that fit within your interests and abilities and then let that guide you.
