Cavaglia
Cavaglia railway station is a stop on the Bernina railway, which forms part of the Rhaetian Railway in the Albula/Bernina Landscapes, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Tourist attractions include a nature trail and a group of deep potholes formed by glacial moulins, as well as other glacial formations.
The Cavaglia hydro-electric power station in Cavaglia has an installed capacity of 7 MW and is fed by underground pressurised pipe-line from the Palü power station at Lago Palü. The 800-metre (2,600 ft) tunnel connecting the two plants also accommodates a funicular railway that is open to the public during tours of the plants. The outfall of the Cavaglia station falls into the Cavagliasch river, which in turn feeds a pipeline to the Robbia power station at San Carlo.
