Winter sports
Not only is Maloja an ideal starting point for mountain excursions but, at 1,815 m above sea level,
it is also one of the best-equipped and most highly rated ski areas in all of Switzerland.
The Engadin Ski Marathon, the most important event on the Swiss sporting calendar, sets off directly in front of the Maloja Palace Hotel.
The Maloja Palace Hotel is situated at the highest point of the Engadin, close by
Switzerland's most renowned ski areas, which are only a few minutes away.
Maloja is therefore the ideal base for alpine skiing, cross-country skiing, tobogganing and snowboarding.
