Details

Description

The circular trail starts at the Maloja Posta bus station. Passing the former studio of the painter Segantini, it leads through a sparse pine forest to the Torre Belvedere.
The tower was once part of a castle with which the Belgian Count Renesse wanted to turn Maloja into a European top destination. Today the tower stands lonely in a nature reserve with marshlands and glacial potholes from the last Ice Age.
After a long look down into the Bergell, we follow the path that winds north and east and leads back to the village on the main road after about an hour.

Geheimtipp

Refreshment stops: Hotel Restaurant Longhin, Hotel Restaurant Schweizerhaus.

Sicherheitshinweis

Easy to walk without any danger.

Directions

The circular route starts at the Maloja Posta bus station. At the former studio of the painter Segantini, we turn right off the main road and climb through the loose pine forest to the Torre Belvedere. The tower was once part of a castle with which the Belgian Count Renesse wanted to develop Maloja into a top European destination. Today, the tower stands alone in a nature reserve with raised bogs and glacial potholes from the last ice age.

After a long look down into Bregaglia, we follow the path that winds its way north and east and leads back to the village on the main road after just under an hour.

Directions

Public Transport

Take the post bus to the Maloja Posta stop.
