A short circular trail on the marginal of Maloja, which with an altitude difference of about 100 metres is a good preparation for longer tours. You can also enjoy the beautiful views of the mountains and the village.

If you're looking for a short hike with a bit of a challenge, the Maloja-Palza circular route is just right for you. It starts from the Giacometti Sport car park and climbs briefly from the Chiesa Bianca towards the Aela slope, before descending back down to the lake. Once again you pass the Chiesa Bianca and return to the car park. A real trial circuit!
Author’s recommendation
The Chiesa Bianca belonged to the overall concept of the Belgian Count Renesse for Maloja and was built simultaneously with other tourist buildings.
