The snowshoe tour starts at the Orden car park, opposite Villa Baldini. The trail is marked with pink signs with a white snowshoe. Unfortunately, the small stone bridge in front of the dam is closed, so you have to make a small diversion over the bridge at Salecina. On the other side of the river, you first head back towards the dam. From then on, the snowshoe markings follow the summer trail to Lägh da Bitabergh.

The lake can be comfortably walked around before returning via the same route.

Author’s recommendation

As the paths do not pass restaurants, it is advisable to take a small backpack with snacks. In Maloja itself, some restaurants offer delicious local specialities.
