Maloja – along new roads
Maloja?? Pronounce it „mah-low-yah“. You could say, we got booked on Maloja, the „alderwoods“ of the Swiss Engadin. First, there was only this picture of a snowboarder in the internet, but for some odd reason the image refused to let us sleep. Then came a deep feeling of curiosity and the unresistable urge to find out what it was all about. We were fed up with the uninspiring organizedness of mass tourism in the posh alpine towns, bored from all the empty chitchat at party after party, weary of the fight to be seen among and belong to the „in crowd“, those people, nurtured by understatement or vanity, and beautiful by law. We set out for the mountain village of Maloja, only a few kilometers away from all the buzz. We were determined to find something different.
