    I OF THE MALOJA. 121 A sliort promenade of 30 minutes can be made by taking the patli on the S.E. of the Kursaal, passing through the hamlet of Cresta, and making for the church, after a few- windings one emerges by the Osteria Vecchia. Longer walks in the direction of St. Moritz or down the Val Bregaglia towards Promontogno, are available, and in winter the descent on a toboggan to Vicosprano, and even Promontogno (12 miles) is easily made. The charms of these winter excursions in the glistening snow and brilliant sunshine, with deep blue sky, are unknown to summer visitors. In winter, also, good skating can be had, both on the Maloja Lake (3 miles long), and on the ice rink at the rear of the Hotel. Distances.
