Description

The train travels a series of hairpin bends to overcome the altitude difference. A fascinating view!

From Cavaglia, which thanks to the construction of the railway and the power plant was for a few decades a village equipped with a school, shops, and restaurants, you descend passing by numerous well-preserved mountain houses surrounded by woods and pastures down to Poschiavo, the valley's main town.

A visit to the Glacier Garden of Cavaglia is a must. The potholes were formed by the strong water currents of the prehistoric glacier. The stones' rotation carved the rock and produced smooth cavities.

Casa Console

The museum is housed in an elegant 19th-century palazzo, a pearl of local architecture. The history of the house is closely linked to Antonio Semadeni.
