Route line is approximate. Plan with a navigation app before you ride.
Why it suits beginners
The Maloja has a maximum of 9% and is open all year. The Engadin side is almost flat along the lakes (0.1% average), and the Bregaglia side averages 4.6% (IAP). The hairpins below Maloja come in a series, so take them slowly and turn round at Bondo or Castasegna. Busy with Italy traffic at weekends.
