Maloja to Silvaplana, Via Engiadina

Maloja – Torre Belvedere – Gletschermühlen – Sils – Silvaplana / 16km / 6h with breaks

The Engadin area is fabulous with golden larch trees in autumn. I have done several times, but I always like to do it again.

The night before we stayed at the historically famous Maloja Kulm Hotel which is located at the top of the famous Maloja Pass with its winding road down to the Bregell Valley. Already during breakfast, the golden Engadin invited us outside.

The hike started with a stretch up to the Belvedere Tower, then along the Silsersee to Sils Maria to finally end up in Silvaplana.

At Silvaplana we watched some kite surfers riding on the freezing-looking lake. It must be cold when one falls!
