Poschiavo is Swiss but speaks Italian, and faces south: the Poschiavino, the river that gives it its name, flows down towards Tirano and ends in the Adda. The town is recognisable by the 19th-century palazzi lined up on the southern edge of the centre, built by Poschiavo's pastry chefs who had made their fortune in the great cities of Europe and came home with their savings and the fashions of the capitals.
Down the valley lies the lake: 2.5 kilometres long at 962 metres, formed by a prehistoric landslide that dammed the valley at Miralago. On its shore, at Le Prese, the Albergo Bagni opened in 1857, built around a sulphur spring. The Bernina Railway, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, stops at all three places framed by the webcams.
