Details

Description

From the high valley of Cavaglia, which developed into a village with a school, shop and restaurant for several decades due to the railway and power plant construction, you descend over the countless, well-preserved alpine pastures surrounded by forest and hedges to the main town of the Puschlav, Poschiavino.


The detour to the made accessible glacier mills of Cavaglia is definitely worth it. The stones set in motion by the strong currents of prehistoric glacier water have ground the glacier mills into the rocks, shaping them into smooth cavities and breakthroughs.

Hidden Gem

Directions

Public Transport

Rhaetian Railway


It started operating over 100 years ago: the Bernina line. In 1910, the direct train service between St. Moritz and Tirano was launched. 61 kilometers of the highest engineering feat against the backdrop of the highest mountain in Graubünden. This special treat, which passes the mighty Palü and Morteratsch glaciers, uniting southern joie de vivre and alpine beauty, can be experienced daily on the Bernina Express. Yet sometimes you hold your breath at the exposed curves and the overwhelming mountain panorama.
