The village that gave its name to Val Poschiavo is considered one of the most beautiful in Switzerland. It lies south of the Alps, across the Bernina Pass, in one of the Italian-speaking regions of Graubünden.

The entire historic centre is listed in the inventory of Swiss Heritage Sites, with no less than ten historic buildings listed as protected cultural properties.

Poschiavo is a tourist destination that has to be deserved: to get there, you have to drive all the way through Graubünden to the Upper Engadine and then over all the sharp bends of the Bernina Pass.

You can also get there by train, with the Bernina Express, which is one of the most spectacular railway lines in Switzerland.
