Description

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

From Cavaglia, which thanks to the construction of the railway and the power station was for several decades a village with a school, shops and restaurants, you descend past numerous well-preserved mountain houses surrounded by woods and pastures to Poschiavo, the capital of the valley.

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

Museum Valposchiavo

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. The emigrated Puschlaver had made his fortune as a cafetier in Poland with great skill and had the palazzo built in 1856 on the site of an old farmhouse.

Viewpoint Valposchiavo

Alp Grüm

Alp Grüm is located at 2,091 m above sea level on the edge of the first slope of the Valposchiavo. From here you can enjoy an unmistakable view over the whole Valposchiavo, which extends to Italy. In 1910, the Bernina Line of the Rhaetian Railway was built here. The pretty station building, made of quarry stones, is both a restaurant and a hotel and was opened in 1926.
