Ponte Runchett da Sotsassa

The covered wooden bridge (about 4,200 kg) crosses a ravine and blends well with the steep slopes above the village.

Description

It could one day become Poschiavo's landmark, seen as it dominates up there. The wooden building is part of a path that leads to the typical terraced fields, the so-called "raunchett", where until the Second World War vegetables and fruit were grown for hotels in the Engadine.

The stone terraces above Poschiavo were previously difficult to access and had been neglected in recent decades: as a result they were completely covered with vegetation. Now they have been restored and the dry stone walls have been rebuilt.

A relatively steep descent leads back to the Borgo, which you have just admired from a bird's eye view.
