State of slopes and facilities
Skilift Aela, Maloja
Sun, peace and powder: the pleasant ski resort of Aela is a favourite with all those who are looking for active relaxation in unique natural surroundings rather than the hustle and bustle. The Aela ski lift takes skiers & snowboarders from Maloja (1817 m) to the small peak at 2100 m. Even the ride up is a unique experience and the steep lift is the first challenge for the skiier, but once you reach the top you are rewarded with a breath taking view. When there is fresh snow, numerous freeriders make a pilgrimage to the Aela and powder together through the forest.

Snowtubing
Fun is guaranteed at Snowtubing Maloja! On the specially designed slope, you glide down the slope on an inner tube, also known as a "Snow-Tube". At the end of the slope, a ski lift takes the children comfortably seated on their own rubber ring to the beginning of the course. Sitting, lying down, on the stomachs or on the backs - everything is allowed downhill!
Snowtubing is located on one of the sunniest hill of Maloja near the Ponylift, only a 10-minute walk from Maloja. Close to the slope, there is also a small restaurant to recharge your batteries.
Snow tubing is only possible when snow conditions allow it. In the days following a snowfall or in the absence of snow this attraction remains closed.
