Glacier Garden, Cavaglia (Poschiavo)
A natural gem, the pots of the giants, formed by the glaciers of the Ice Ages, located in the Cavaglia basin at the foot of the Bernina massif, dominated by Piz Palü!
Access to the glacial mills is extremely easy: they are located near the train station, which can be reached with the legendary "trenino rosso", a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2008.
The Glacier Garden is open from May to October. Surrounded by rich flora and varied alpine vegetation, the glacial mills are one of the most impressive things that the Val Poschiavo has to offer!
