Cavaglia

Cavaglia is located on a plateau formed by the glacier at 1703 m above sea level, between two rocky steps in the upper part of the Val Poschiavo. Ancient forests line the pastures and the plain, which is divided into two halves by the rocky bed of the Cavagliasco stream. In addition to a handful of houses, the original village also includes a power plant and a train station. From here, trains run hourly over the Bernina Pass to St. Moritz or in the direction of Tirano in Valtellina. In addition to the railway line, there is a second, spectacularly beautiful alternative to Cavaglia: the green electricity trail, which leads from the Ospizio Bernina station through the Palü gorge down to Cavaglia and offers interesting information about the ecological production of energy from water and the Bernina railway, the construction of which is closely linked to the electrification of the valley.

A few minutes' walk from Cavaglia is the unique glacier garden "Marmitte dei Giganti" with its huge glacier mills.

In summer, Cavaglia is an ideal starting point for hikes and mountain bike tours in Val Poschiavo and the Engadine.
