Show all 3 images
The Piz Kesch 3417 m above sea level is one of the most scenic mountain peaks in the Albula Alps. At the foot of the mountain lies the Porchabella Glacier.
Description
The Piz Kesch is the highest mountain in Parc Ela at 3417m above sea level. Between the Porchabella Glacier and the Kesch Hut SAC lies an ever-changing glacier forefield. The Kesch-Ducan area is protected as a landscape of national importance.
The Porchabella Glacier is located at the foot of Piz Kesch. The special name Prochabella, translated as beautiful pig, comes from the legend that shepherds are said to have been guilty of blasphemy. As punishment, their beautiful Schweinealp, located at this point, was buried under a thick layer of ice.
