Maloja Pass has been used since preRoman times, but it became really popular in the 19th century connecting Northern Italy to the Engadin and Val Bregaglia valleys. The road features two contrasting sceneries: flat planes in the north are followed by a steep climb into the Val Bregaglia in the south. Several hairpin bends near the top make the drive especially scenic and exciting. You'll be surrounded by picturesque mountain villages, alpine meadows, mountain peaks, and glacialfed lakes. Once on the summit, make a detour to see Lake Sils (Silsersee), the largest lake in the Engadine area, or Lägh da Cavloc (Cavlocciosee), a hidden lake with a restaurant on the shore.
