Bernina Region
South of the Bernina Pass, the Bernina Region combines a strong industrial base with a sustainable energy sector and organic agriculture. Its immediate proximity to Italy and well-established commercial ecosystem create attractive conditions for manufacturing and skilled-trade businesses.
Hydropower and regional value creation
Independent economic strength in the south
Comprising the two southern-valley municipalities of Poschiavo and Brusio, the Bernina Region has an unusually balanced and resilient employment structure for an Alpine region. More than one third of jobs are in industry, construction and renewable energy, particularly hydropower.
Together with the pioneering 100% Valposchiavo organic-agriculture initiative and a strong local business base, this gives the Bernina Region a distinctive and dynamic economic ecosystem. Its immediate proximity to Italy’s Valtellina, cross-border bilingualism and the UNESCO World Heritage Rhaetian Railway open up valuable market opportunities to both the south and the north.
