  • Surrounded by the Swiss Alps, 300 metres from Lago di Poschiavo
  • Peaceful vibe among spectacular scenery and spotless amenities
  • Pool, play area, garden and bar-restaurant with terrace
Ditch the car should you so desire – or indeed, arrive here deftly on foot on a Swiss trek, as the walkers' paradise site of Camping Cavresc is only five minutes from its local train station. Families, couples and intrepid solitary explorers all flock to this tiptop place among the Swiss Alps, for hols of a hiking sort as well as watersports of all sorts in the glacial waters of spectacular Lake Poschiavo 300 metres away (you really can ditch the car while at Cavresc should you so desire). Both outdoorsy picks will have you pitching up among mighty pretty mountain surroundings, plentiful facilities and spotless amenities – leading to accolades like 'fantastic', 'absolute gem', 'stunning' and 'beautiful' made about the site by its gratified guests. Camping Cavresc is under 10 minutes' drive from the town of Poschiavo, in the Bernina Region of Switzerland's canton of Graubünden, among rivers, valleys, glaciers and mountains. It's a friendly place with excellent facilities and amenities, including an outdoor pool, a play area, table tennis, a TV room, and a garden with loads of room to wander, run around or play. There's a bar-restaurant for meals, drinks and light bites too, to have in the comely indoor setting or out in the garden among views of greenery and Swiss Alps. Takeaway is also available, and barbecues are allowed.

Electric optional grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Beautiful location! Small site but good facilities. There's a couple of pizza ovens around the campsite as well a couple of covered picnic tables which is great when the weather isn't so good. Clean toilets and showers. Beautiful walks nearby either in the mountains or around the lake. Local transport just around the corner on the main street.

Disliked: There's no swimming pool as the pitchup website states. Also reception hours differ to that on the pitchup website. Other facilities stated on the website differ too. I suggest looking up the campsite independently to see. There is a river that runs by the campsite which is pretty loud, so ear plugs at night night be needed for some! One thing to note is that all local shops, even the supermarket, shut between anytime from 12noon to 2pm for lunch. Also all shops are shut on Sundays.

Electric optional grass motorhome pitch

Liked: Lovely site with friendly staff a nice park on site which was great for kids. There was also another nice park for kids near by as well as the lake (there is a beach to swim from if you follow the trails). The view to wake up to is spectacular! Only slight downside is that there is only a small shop in the town so stick up before you arrive. The trains and busses are around a 200 yard walk

Disliked: None

Local attractions

The deep blue glacial waters of lovely Lago di Poschiavo are within a couple of minutes' meander from the site for spectacular scenery and lakeside hikes. Woodland trails are close by too: ask the Camping Cavresc team for info on the best routes. Local town Poschiavo is connected to the Alps region of Engadin and the rest of Switzerland via the Bernina Pass, the high mountain pass linking the Poschiavo valley and St Moritz. To traverse it in splendid style, take the Bernina Express tourist train running all year round between Chur and Tirano; it's the highest railway route in Europe at 2,253 metres, so get pics aplenty to show off later. At the foot of the Bernina mountain range, about half an hour's drive from the site, the glacier mills area of Cavaglia is also mighty pretty for pics and trekking around. Access it 400 metres from the Cavaglia station of the Rhaetian Railway, either under your own steam or on a guided tour available from June to October.
