From the parking lot in Orden in Maloja, follow the smuggler's trail to Bitabergh Lake. In search of the hidden treasure, you will immerse yourself in the world of smuggling at the beginning of the 19th century thanks to 17 educational stations. After a short refreshing snack at the picturesque Bitabergh Lake, you will return to Maloja via Cavloc or along the same path.

In the afternoon, after a tasty packed lunch or lunch in one of the valley restaurants, visit the Pungell farm. Cows, goats, chickens and, of course, the Pedroni family will welcome you to the cheese dairy where, with the help of the cheesemaker, you can prepare a delicious cheese with your own hands.

The day begins in Maloja in the footsteps of Segantini, 12 information panels will introduce you to the life and work of the artist.

Lunch in one of the restaurants in the valley before visiting the ethnographic museum of Bregaglia, the Ciäsa Granda. In the old house dating back to 1600 you can admire various works by the artists of the Giacometti family.
