Valposchiavo is a popular outdoor enthusiast’s playground.  Whether they are very rocky and most challenging mountain bike trails, alpine hiking trails marked clearly with a triple ban sign (white, red, white) painted on strategic locations on the rock formations, or a more “senior” walk which I did around Lago di Poschiavo, many Swiss and visitors take to the great outdoors.  Here’s what you experience walking abound this clear mountain water fed lake.

In this quiet valley of mountain heights, and clear lakes, the ingredients for one of the world’s most famous lozenges are grown here.  There are acres and acres of herbs grown by the Raselli family that are now being harvested for processing.  You may have a bit of Switzerland in your desk, your purse, or your pocket. Enjoy!
