Poschiavo (Italian: Poschiavo, German: Puschlav, Romansh: Puschlav) is a municipality in the district of Bernina in the canton of Graubünden in Switzerland.
It is located in the Val Poschiavo, which is one of only four valleys in the canton where the official language is Italian. The other valleys are Bregaglia, Mesolcina and Calanca. The local dialect is called Pus'ciavin.
Poschiavo has its own lake, called Lago di Poschiavo, which is located to the south of the village.
[edit] Transportation
The only connection to Engadin is the Bernina Pass. It is connected by a road and the Rhätische Bahn (RhB) on the Tirano-St. Moritz line.
