Description
If you are looking for a short hiking trail with some challenge, the Maloja - Palza circular route is just right. It starts at the parking lot at Giacometti-Sport, goes briefly uphill from the Chiesa Bianca towards Aela slope, then descends again towards the lake. You pass the Chiesa Bianca again on the way back to the parking lot. A real trial loop!
