Giardino dei Ghiacciai Cavaglia
Cavaglia - vista su Poschiavo

In the Cavaglia Glacier Garden, with its typical alpine vegetation and rich flora, there are fascinating glacial mills: wonders of nature created by thousands of years of glaciation. A visit offers a unique, unforgettable experience.

Description

For thousands of years the melt from the Palü Glacier drilled deep, circular holes into solid rock, forming “giants’ cauldrons“ as the glacial potholes of Cavaglia are known. Twenty-one of them have been excavated so far, connected by an explanatory trail.

Opening hours

Open from March to October, depending on snow conditions.

Directions

Public Transport

The glacier garden can be reached by the Rhaetian Railway – both from the north (Pontresina) and from the south (Poschiavo) – stopping at Cavaglia station. From the Cavaglia station you can easily reach the glacier garden on foot by following the signs. Duration approx. 10 minutes.

Directions

By car from Poschiavo Curtinell to Cavaglia.
