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.

Lago di Poschiavo is a lake in the Puschlav valley in southern Graubünden.

It was dammed by a prehistoric landslide. There is no artificial dam, only a water intake at the southern end to regulate the outflow. Most of the water flows in the tunnel to Monte Scala (937 m above sea level) and from there to the Campocologno power plant, the rest of the water takes the natural route through the Poschiavino river. The total water content is around 120 million m³, of which 15 million m³ are used to generate electricity.

We always have to go around the lake when we vacation here. It's just relaxing to look at the lake and the surrounding mountains and breathe the fresh air.
