Le Prese

Le Prese stretches along the eastern shore of Lago di Poschiavo, a pristine alpine lake whose turquoise waters mirror the surrounding peaks. This quiet village offers a rare combination of lakeside relaxation and alpine scenery, with small beaches, lakefront promenades, and swimming areas that become lively in summer. The microclimate of the valley creates Mediterranean-like conditions, allowing palm trees and subtropical vegetation to thrive alongside Swiss mountain architecture. Le Prese serves as a peaceful base for exploring the valley, with excellent hiking trails leading into the mountains and along the lake. The village atmosphere is unhurried and authentic, far from mass tourism despite being on the famous Bernina Express route.
