Stories and awards

The Albula-Bernina railway runs through our valley. It is the heart of the Rhaetian Railway and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. One of its most spectacular points is located right here in Valposchiavo: the famous Brusio Circular Viaduct, known throughout the world for its ingenuity and architectural beauty. Our efforts to promote slow and sustainable tourism, combined with regional development, are also attracting attention. In 2021, we were awarded the title of "Best Tourism Village" by the World Tourism Organization (UN Tourism). In 2024, Valposchiavo was recognised as a Swiss Region of Taste, a title that is reflected every day in our cuisine and local products. To crown these successes, the municipality of Poschiavo has been the holder of the prestigious Swiss Wakker Prize since 2025, awarded for excellence in the preservation of architectural and landscape heritage.
