Directions

First, it goes on the wide forest road from Maloja to Isola. Behind Isola, it continues on the narrow lakeside path over roots and stones up to Sils. Instead of continuing into the village of Sils, the path follows the lake shore and shortly before Chastè turns towards the Maloja main road. A few meters run on asphalt and across the main road before the highlight of the run awaits. Along the Via Engiadina, you run with a wide view over Lake Sils and the surrounding mountains to Grevasalvas. From the alpine village, the seasonal settlement above Plaun da Lej, it continues on a wide path section to the second seasonal settlement Blaunca. Once you arrive in Blaunca, it's time to let go and be careful on the descent. The descent to Maloja follows via Pila and the Pro Natura reserve.
