The Maloja is an oddity — you're already at 1,815m on the Engadin side, so the north approach is almost flat. The drama is all on the south face. From the Italian border at Chiavenna, the road climbs 1,400m in a series of tight switchbacks through Val Bregaglia. Surface is good, width is adequate. The Maloja wind — a reliable afternoon thermal — makes the summit views over the Engadin lakes unpredictable. Best driven south-to-north for the reveal into the Upper Engadin. Open year-round in most winters.
