From the starting point at the post office in Maloja, take the winter hiking trail to the lake of Sils. Follow the winter hiking trail parallel to the Engadine Skimarathon trail over the frozen lake of Sils, then over the frozen lake of Silvaplana and finally over the frozen lake of Champfèr. After passing the Lej Marsch, you will reach the finish in St. Moritz. Trail running through the frozen Engadin lake landscape at it's best!

Author’s recommendation

Pay attention on the wind direction. With Maloja wind, the tour is much more pleasant.
