San Bernardino, Switzerland

San Bernardino is a mountainous village in the canton of Grisons in Switzerland.

It is the southern entry point to the San Bernardino tunnel, which complemented the road over the San Bernardino Pass in 1967, opening a new all-year-round road to crossing the Alps.

The old Mulattiera is still visible and in good condition, this was the path for horses before the construction of a road in 1770 by the adjacent municipalities.

The restoration was completed with a minimum amount of concrete reinforcements.

The municipality encloses Val Curciusa, a valley lying north of Bocchetta di Curciusa and therefore emptying its waters towards the Rhine river and the North Sea instead of the Adriatic Sea as in most Italian spoken areas of the canton of Graubünden.
