About Poschiavo
Poschiavo is the main town of Val Poschiavo, in the Italian-speaking south of Graubünden, right on the Italian border. Piazza da Cumün anchors the old centre, lined with patrician houses in the Italian style, and the late Gothic church of San Vittore and the Museo Poschiavino are close by. Along Via dei Palazzi, the Spanish quarter, stand Venetian-style villas built by families who returned from emigration. The station sits just outside the village, joined to it by an avenue. Homes are spread over a few kilometres, nearly all with a garden, a fireplace and room for around six, and none with a pool.

Yes. Poschiavo is on the Rhaetian Railway's Bernina line, 43.6 km from St. Moritz. Bernina Express trains make several round trips a day between Chur or St. Moritz and Tirano, and a regional service runs hourly between St. Moritz and Tirano.
Is Poschiavo in Italy?
No, it is in Switzerland, the main town of Val Poschiavo in Graubünden's Italian-speaking south, right on the Italian border. The architecture, from the main square to the Venetian-style villas of the Spanish quarter, reflects that Italian side.
Can you swim near Poschiavo?
Yes, in Lake Poschiavo. Le Prese is the place to swim, and an excursion boat, the Sassalbo, runs on the lake. None of the homes here has a pool, so the lake is the main option.
Does Poschiavo have an old town worth walking?
It does. Start at Piazza da Cumün, then take in the late Gothic church of San Vittore, Casa Tomé, the village's oldest house, the Museo Poschiavino and the Augustinian monastery of Santa Maria.
