Poschiavo: Webcam PASSO BERNINA
Bernina Pass has served as a mountain crossing in the Grisons Alps since the Middle Ages. Near its summit, Lago Bianco is a long reservoir framed by high Alpine slopes, while the pass road follows its eastern shore. The crossing links the Engadin with Val Poschiavo, the Italian-speaking valley that runs south towards Italy. Its defining engineering landmark is the Bernina line of the Rhaetian Railway, opened in 1910; together with the Albula line, it forms the UNESCO-listed Rhaetian Railway cultural landscape. Poschiavo lower in the valley has an Italianate character, reflecting the meeting of Swiss and Italian Alpine traditions.

Poschiavo lies in Val Poschiavo beside the Poschiavino River, a south-facing Alpine valley descending from the Bernina Pass towards the Italian border. This Italian-speaking municipality in Grisons has a compact historic centre where stone houses and patrician palazzi reflect long-standing connections across the pass. The Bernina line of the Rhaetian Railway, part of the UNESCO-listed Rhaetian Railway in the Albula/Bernina Landscapes, stops in Poschiavo before continuing through the valley; farther south, its tracks curve around the celebrated Brusio Circular Viaduct. Lake Poschiavo provides a quiet waterside contrast to the high mountain route. Browse additional webcams from Val Poschiavo and the Bernina region to extend your view of this Alpine valley.

The terrain of Grisons ranges from high Alpine valleys in the south to the broad Rhine valley in the north, shaping Switzerland’s largest and most linguistically diverse canton. The Inn flows through the Engadin, while the Rhine has long connected Chur, the cantonal capital, with the rest of central Europe. Romansh remains a defining regional language alongside German and Italian. The Rhaetian Railway’s Albula and Bernina lines, recognised by UNESCO, cross dramatic mountain country with remarkable engineering.

Switzerland stretches from the Jura Mountains in the northwest to the Alps in the south, encompassing a central plateau of cities, farms and lakes. The Rhine rises in the Swiss Alps, while Lake Geneva forms part of the country’s southwestern border. Zürich, Geneva and Basel are major urban centres, yet mountain railways and passes remain central to how many regions are experienced. Four national languages—German, French, Italian and Romansh—reflect Switzerland’s distinct cantonal identities. The Matterhorn above Zermatt is among Europe’s most recognisable peaks, and the 1291 Federal Charter is closely associated with the country’s founding tradition.
