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.

Beautiful picnic area with tables and grills, on a lawn by the lake. There is also a stall selling sandwiches and drinks, and firewood can be found on site (under cover near the fountain). Paid parking right next to it, it is a good place to start and go for a walk with a barbecue at the end.

Beautiful lawn overlooking Lake Poschiavo. On the route of several paths that connect Switzerland and Italy, this rest area is equipped with grills, a fountain and a stall selling food and drinks. Very cool and appreciable especially in the height of summer, it is an excellent point to stop before climbing (towards San Romerio or Viano for example) the surrounding mountains.
