Day 5 Sils Maria trek to Maloja

Another 20,000 + step day. This time we were off to Maloja. We started off towards Val Fe again, then turned left at Sonne Hotel - tempted to stop for tomato soup again- then headed straight up heading for Isola peninsula. What a climb. The highlight of the day was the goats. They were everywhere, stampeding past us and blocking our road - totally oblivious to the fact we were there. We paused at Isola and watched the men putting up trees to avoid avalanches, then trekked on to Maloja. From here we had another amazing view of the lake and a some kite surfers. On route back I we stopped at Isola for beer, then headed back home.

On route back we treated ourselves to cheese fondue - 4 forks and 2 pots- at Hotel Edelweiss. A swiss speciality we absolutely had to try.Read more
