You get malaria in areas where mosquitoes thrive. There are four varieties of malaria, and one species of mosquito that carries them all. The disease is caused by a germ, and the germ is carried by an insect which exists in warm & wet areas. As water flows to the lowest place, the lower altitudes are where you contract malaria.
In terms of the specific question asked, it seems that the risk falls of with increasing altitude and is considered very low above 1500m ( approx 4900 feet).
