Winter trail running: Maloja - Sils

We start at the cross-country skiing center in Maloja and run past the Maloja Palace Hotel to the lakeshore. From here, we continue along the slightly rolling lakeside path in the forest to the hamlet of Isola, the 'border point' of the Bregaglia municipality. From Isola, the path leads across Lake Sils to the shore of Sils. Along the shore, you reach the Chastè peninsula, which also marks the turning point of this pleasure route. From Chastè, follow the well-marked winter path first towards Plaun da Lej and Isola back to Maloja. The frozen lake gives a sense of vastness typically known from coastal regions rather than the high mountains. With the sun on your face, this route is especially enjoyable in the afternoon.

Please note: From 27 October 2025 to 31 March 2026, the route between Sils and Isola will be diverted due to construction work. Please follow the signs on site.
