Glacier Garden, Cavaglia (Poschiavo)
A natural gem, the Giants' Pots, formed by the glaciers of the Ice Ages, located in the Cavaglia basin at the foot of the Bernina massif, overlooked by the Piz Palü!
Access to the glacier mills is extremely easy: they are located near the train station, which can be reached using the legendary “trenino rosso”, which has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2008.
The glacier garden is open from May to October. Framed by rich flora and varied alpine vegetation, the glacier mills are one of the most impressive things the Val Poschiavo has to offer!

Entrance (and small parking lot) to the glacier garden.
Entry is free. The length of stay is stated as 90 minutes. But you can get by in an hour including the Cavaglia Gorge.
