Poschiavo - San Romerio - Viano

In the high altitudes, the air in valposchiavo is often of dazzling clarity on sunny days. It is the light of the south that makes the landscape shine. A wonderful setting to experience this serene brightness is the Alp San Romerio. It is situated on a cliff-like promontory high above Lake Poschiavo. Wooden benches directly on the abyss invite you to a promising rest; in neighbouring Ristoro, food and drinks can be enjoyed

This enchanting place can be reached on a longer hike. The ascent is initially easy, then increasingly steep and leads mostly through spruce and larch forests. At the end of the mountain forest, the view opens abruptly into the lower Valposchiavo and the neighbouring Veltlin. A lot of views can be enjoyed during the mostly gentle descent into the mountain village of Viano, which until the 1970s was an important venue for the smuggling of sugar, coffee and tobacco into Italy.
