Maladers has an area, (as of the 2004/09 survey) of 7.59 km2 (2.93 sq mi).[4] Of this area, about 28.1% is used for agricultural purposes, while 63.7% is forested. Of the rest of the land, 4.2% is settled (buildings or roads) and 3.9% is unproductive land. In the 2004/09 survey a total of 14 ha (35 acres) or about 1.8% of the total area was covered with buildings, an increase of 2 ha (4.9 acres) over the 1985 amount. Of the agricultural land, 1 ha (2.5 acres) is used for orchards and vineyards, 94 ha (230 acres) is fields and grasslands and 206 ha (510 acres) consists of alpine grazing areas. Since 1985 the amount of agricultural land has decreased by 45 ha (110 acres). Over the same time period the amount of forested land has increased by 48 ha (120 acres). Rivers and lakes cover 4 ha (9.9 acres) in the municipality.[5][6]

Before 2017, the municipality was located in the Schanfigg sub-district of the Plessur district at the entrance to the Schanfiggs valley. It consists of the haufendorf village (an irregular, unplanned and quite closely packed village, built around a central square) of Maladers and the hamlets of Sax and Brandacker.
