The village of Maloja is located in the Engadine valley. This secluded resort is among the places most likely to enjoy snowfall, thus resulting in a very long ski season. Tourists will enjoy R&R and many cultural and athletic activities amidst the majestic mountain scenery. The Swiss Tourism Organization conferred the Families Welcome award upon Maloja in the past. You can take lessons in snowboarding, cross-country skiing and classic downhill skiing at the Ski Sports School Maloja. This institution organizes events for both young and old. The family ski area of Piz Aela offers a memorable experience with two tow lifts and one ski lift, providing access to a height of 2 200 m.
