Details

Description

You can start the Kesch-Trek either from Dürrboden or from the Flüela Pass. We recommend using public transport to get to the respective start. Timetables can be found on the internet or obtained at the Davos Klosters destination. Your first stage goal is the Grialetsch Hut SAC, where you will spend the night.

Hidden Gem

Fancy a small detour with an incredible view? The Flüela Schwarzhorn (3147 m above sea level) is a three-thousander with an easy ascent. 

Safety Note

The Kesch-Trek is an alpine mountain hike. The possible dangers in high mountains must be properly assessed. The hiking stages require good fitness.


Each year in October and from late April to the end of May, the Swiss Army conducts shooting exercises around S-chanf. Therefore, the area between S-chanf and the mountain inn Dürrboden is closed during this time in the Scaletta and Grialetsch area (danger to life). 

Equipment

Sturdy mountain boots, weatherproof and warm clothing, rain protection, provisions for the hiking stages (packed lunches can also be obtained at the huts), enough water, sun and head protection, a pocket first aid kit, maps for orientation and possibly hiking poles.

Directions

Public Transport

From Landquart to Davos by the Rhaetian Railway. There are two accesses to the Grialetsch Hut SAC, both easily reachable by public transport: from Davos Dorf station to Dürrboden in the Dischmatal (ascent from Dürrboden about 1.5 to 2 hours), or from Davos Platz or Davos Dorf stations to Flüelapass-Chantsura, about 1.5 km after the pass summit (ascent from the pass road about 2 to 2.5 hours).
