Miralago - Tirano Durch via Valposchiavo talauswärts nach Italien

The hike from Lago di Poschiavo across the border to Tirano combines nature experiences with interesting cultural and historical sites. Due to this diversity, it is also well suited for children. On the one hand, the valley floor of the Valposchiavo is used for agriculture, but it is also home to various commercial and industrial enterprises, which the tour passes.

Along the way are the circular viaduct of the Rhaetian Railway in Brusio. The landmark of the Bernina line allows trains to negotiate the terrain step below the village in a confined space and without cogwheel drive. There is also a collection of small natural stone domes; These crotti used to be used to store dairy products and other perishable goods in a cool place.

Later, you will pass by the vineyard of Campascio, the only place in Valposchiavo where wine is grown. The Romanesque church of Santa Perpetua is already on Italian soil. It offers a beautiful view of Tirano. In the geometric centre of the town stands the Sanctuary of Madonna di Tirano, which lines the last section of the walk.

At the circular viaduct in Brusio there is a small Garden of Eden. Apple, pear, peach and other fruit trees thrive there. The fruits are available to the general public under the motto "frutti per tutti".

The starting point is the Miralago train station. After the gentle ascent to Garbella, the route is mostly flat or gently descending. The tour ends at the Rhaetian Railway station in Tirano. About a third of the route is paved. There are longer hard surface sections, especially between Brusio and Campascio, as well as in Tirano.
