View of the Chiavenna Valley from Maloja-Kulm

Highlight • Viewpoint

Once you have climbed the Maloja Pass, take a look back from up here into the Chiavenna Valley that lies behind you. Fantastic view of the surrounding mountains.
Hungry and thirsty? You will definitely find what you are looking for in the restaurants in Maloja.

Maloja Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

Maloja at 1815m takes its name from the pass of the same name and connects Chiavenna to Sant Moritz. It divides the Bregaglia Valley from the Engadine and therefore also the Po basin from that of the Inn. An area of great historical and naturalistic charm, not only a passing point but also an excellent starting point for taking a tour in the neighboring valleys.

View of Lake Sils and Chaviolas Island

Highlight • Viewpoint

Nice hiking trail or moderately difficult trail, if you could drive because of the many people.

The Silsersee lies between the villages of Sils and Maloja, which offers one or the other nice place on the shore for a nice rest.

Sils in the Engadine

Highlight • Settlement

Sils Maria is a historic village in the Engadine, known for its connection to Friedrich Nietzsche and its cultural significance.

In the beautiful Engadine village of Sils, at 1802 meters above sea level, everything is a little more intense: the tranquility, the changing seasons, the light, nature – happiness.

Vacationers who found St. Moritz too hectic continued on to Sils Maria. That's how it was a hundred years ago; and that's how it still is today. It's palpable at every turn: those who come to Sils want to nourish their souls. And in doing so, they want to experience the warmth of a small village with around 810 inhabitants, where tourism has a long tradition and has been a way of life for over 100 years.

Two Hearts, One Soul

Sils Maria and Sils Baselgia: Our village has two names because it comprises two settlements. Sils Baselgia grew up around the Church of San Lurench. It was first mentioned in 1356 and still stands today. "Baselgia" is derived from basilica (church). In Sils Maria, the larger of the two villages, the large dairy farm once stood. The name "Maria" refers not to a proper name, but to the term "dairy farm." "Sils" means something like "green meadow" or "long strip of land." This also referred to the Sils lake plain. It is still a "green meadow"—thanks to landscape and nature conservation efforts and the awareness of these values that the people of Sils possess.
