Lake Poschiavo

This beautiful lake is situated 962 metres above sea level in the heart of the Poschiavo Valley, surrounded by mountains. The lake is a natural reservoir in the middle of the Poschiavino river. Its calm and clear surface reflects the surrounding mountains just like a mirror.

The northern end of the lake is just a short walk from Le Prese railway station on the Bernina line of the Rhaetian Railway. A short walk along the lake promenade, which runs parallel to the Bernina railway, brings you to the southern end of the lake, and Miralago railway station, whose name means “view of the lake”. From Milarago, at the northern end of the lake, the view of Piz Varuna (3,453m) in the Bernina Range in the northwest is quite breathtaking. The best time for a visit is spring or autumn, when the snow glistens on the famous peaks in the background and the trees around the lake are in full bloom.
