Good place to stay in this hotel. Were very friendly to cyclists even though we were soaking wet.

The small holiday resort is located near the pass of the same name in the canton of Graubünden. The place is the starting point for numerous hikes. There are a few hotels and restaurants here, and there is also a small supermarket and a gas station in town.

Hotel Bellevue, San Bernardino

Highlight • Rest Area

Hotel Bellevue, San Bernardino since 1858
The Hotel Bellevue was first mentioned in 1858 and was built by the landowner Gaspare Motto, a landowner from Mesocco. Motto built the mineral spring building together with Paolo Battaglia. At the beginning of the 19th century, the resort hosted numerous spa guests, mainly from nearby Ticino, Lombardy, and Piedmont.
The Desteffanis family is also mentioned, but the details of their management are unclear (probably around 1870).
Luigi Toschini (1832–1915) bought the hotel in 1896 and later handed over the business to his sons Samuele (1857–1943) and Giovanni (1873–1925) and their respective families. At that time, the Bellevue's capacity was limited, consisting of 18 rooms (for tourists) and 4 for staff.
A special feature of the hotel's cellar was a room called "giazéira" in the local dialect, which was filled with snow and ice in the spring to keep drinks and food cool.
In 1932, the hotel was sold to the Thorner-Blatter family from the Canton of Bern, who are also the current owners of Villa Flora. In 1937, the Thorner-Blatter family decided to sell the building to the Studer family, who later resold it to Mr. Oldenburg. In 1955, the Thorner-Blatter family repurchased the hotel.
In 1965, the Schmidlin family bought the hotel and ran it until 1984. In the 1960s and 1970s, the Schmidlin family was known in San Bernardino for breeding several St. Bernard dogs, which lived in the garden next to the hotel, where the terrace is today. The Schmidlin family later bred up to 15 St. Bernards and became the symbol of their business during those years.
In 1984, Hans and Meta Wellig, the former owners of the Hotel National Ravizza, purchased the Hotel Bellevue with the intention of continuing the family tradition.

Stunning section of the climb up the San Bernardino Pass, view of the Alpine nature, of the valley and of the mountains in the upper part of the valley. Every effort is rewarded!

San Bernardino Pass Summit and Lake

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The San Bernardino Pass connects the Misox with the Rheinwald and is located at 2,066 meters. At the pass summit, there is a restaurant and a bus stop, making the location easily accessible.
The open high mountain landscape with small lakes and wide open spaces is well suited for a break.

Despite the less than ideal weather forecast, Silvia wanted to cycle from Hinterrhein to Locarno. I accompanied her over the pass when the weather was fine and then went back the same way to get the car.
