Lago di Poschiavo / Puschlav Lake The Lago di Poschiavo, or Puschlav Lake in German, is located in the southern Graubünden municipality of Poschiavo/Puschlav. The natural reservoir is 962 meters above sea level. The lake is approximately 2.5 km long in a north/south direction and one kilometer wide. The Poschiavino river is both an inflow and outflow of the lake, which is up to 80 m deep at most. The Rhaetian Railway line runs along the western shore towards Brusio and Tirano in Italy. The village center of Poschiavo is about five kilometers north of the Puschlav Lake. On the lake itself are the villages of Miralago in the south and Le Prese in the north end. Both villages have Rhaetian Railway stops. The approximately seven-kilometer circular route around the Lago di Poschiavo can be completed in just under two hours. Since 2016, the "Sassalbo" has been a rentable boat on Lake Poschiavo. It is considered the largest passenger ship in the canton of Graubünden.

Lake Poschiavo is splendid and often so clear that it reflects the surrounding mountains like a mirror. A cycle path runs around us with no difference in altitude or technical difficulties, also suitable for families. There are a couple of places to organize barbecues, and several fountains. The red Bernina train passes close by.

Road with very little traffic but with a challenging slope. With an asphalt or dirt surface it leads towards the splendid church of San Romerio.

Splendid church perched on a cliff overlooking Lake Poschiavo. The route to get there is a climb with a fairly high gradient, mostly asphalted but with sections of compact dirt road. Several paths between Switzerland and Italy pass through it, and the presence of a refuge makes San Romerio an excellent stopping point.
