A short circular trail on the outskirts of Maloja that, with approx. 100 metres of altitude gain, is a good preparation for larger tours. You can also enjoy the views of the mountains and the village.

From Maloja you first head towards the lakeside path to Isola, at the campsite the path branches off to the right up the slope. At 1912 m, the highest point is reached and the trail follows the valley down to Maloja.

Author’s recommendation

A detour to Isola and the Lagrev Restaurant is worthwhile, where fine Bergell specialities await the visitors and the sun terrace invites you to linger a bit longer...
