Mesocco Castle San Bernardino Castle Mesolcina Calanca The ruins of Mesocco Castle stand on top of an imposing rocky hill that rises steeply from the valley floor. This imposing fortress stands in the center of the valley, forcing the Moesa River into a wide bend in a narrow, impassable gorge, leaving only a narrow passage to the west. Mesocco Castle is protected on three sides by steep cliffs. Only to the northeast, on the upstream side of the valley, does the slope slope more gently. Climbing up the old access road to the castle from the north side, you first reach the Church of St. Maria del Castello and are already on the castle grounds, which were once surrounded by a defensive wall. The impressive ruins consist mainly of the remains of defensive works built in the last decades of the 15th century, i.e., during the final phase of the castle's life. Among them are numerous ruins from earlier eras, so that the castle's current appearance reveals its eventful history, which has its roots in the early Middle Ages.

simple pass crossing

Pizzo Stella is 3,163 m high, it is the most famous peak in the Spluga valley even if not the highest.

Mesocco itself is one of the largest castle complexes in Switzerland. In addition to various ruins located on the slopes outside the town, there are excellent intact remains of the castle and the Romanesque church of Santa Maria. It's worth a visit slowly.

Magnificent place with fantastic views

The refuge, dedicated to the "poet of Valchiavenna" Giovanni Bertacchi, stands in a panoramic position next to Lake Emet, in the Upper Val San Giacomo, at an altitude of 2,175 metres. An ideal destination for family outings thanks to its privileged and easily accessible position, it is open from mid-June to the end of September (and only on weekends in October). An excellent place to take a regenerating break while enjoying the best dishes of the local tradition. It is also equipped with 24 beds.
