Came here as a day trip from Zurich. This little place is absolutely gorgeous. You can go across the old stone bridge to the opposite side too. The drive up to this spot was really scenic too. Recommended.

Back again after a year. The same; it's so beautiful & even more quiet than last year. On our first day we walked up to Blatten following the Church walk. A gentle start. Very beautiful. Good walking shoes are essential.

We first discovered this valley on a hike from Muottas Muragl on the “gastronomic trail” and fell in love with this picturesque valley with views of glacier covered peaks, cattle, llamas, goats and sheep and the sounds of cowbells and mountain streams. The first time we walked on the marked Trails on either side of the valley. The second time we decided just to walk along the road to be in the floor of the valley which by the way is quite a bit shorter than the trails up on the side of the mountains. The trail to the Val Fex runs right by our hotel in the entire trail was absolutely beautiful.

Some will just travel through the Val di Poschiavo, sitting in one of the red passenger cars of the Bernina Express on the way from St.Moritz to Tirano in Italy's Valtellina. This already is quite a spectacular experience with views of glaciers and lakes and while descending from 2300m to about 400m asl with an ever changing vegetation and scenery. As good as this trip is, a lot will be missed, since the Poschiavo valley offers a lot more to visitors and if possible it makes sense to spend a few days in the pretty little town of Poschiavo with its already quite Italian character. The about 25km long Val di Poschiavo is one of four Italian speaking regions (besides Mesolcino, Calanca and Bregaglia valleys) of the canton of Graubünden (Grisons), although in fact an alpine form of the Lombardian dialect is spoken. The quite unique character of this valley can also be found in its cuisine, which is different from the rest of Switzerland. Very typical for example are dishes based on buckwheat, like Pizzoccheri, Sciatt or Crespelle. What we especially liked here were the wonderful hiking opportunities like going from the Bernina pass and its Lago Bianco towards Sassal Mason with its 'Crotti', these unique for this area stone huts for food and wine storage. From here one can continue to Alp Grüm railway station or - as we did - past the Lago di Palü with views of the glacier of that name to Cavaglia with its Glacier Garden. Superb hikes can also be done in the Val di Poschiavo's biggest side valley Val di Camp towards the green-blue waters of Lake Saoseo or around the Lago di Poschiavo further south. For the culturally interested there are museums, churches and the Spanish quarter to be visited in Poschiavo.
