Today you will spend the night in the Kesch Hut, newly built in 2001, which is considered a model hut in the Alpine region in terms of energy supply and concept. It has been awarded the European Union environmental label and is the winner of the Swiss Solar Prize.
Hidden Gem
On the way to the Kesch Hut, a detour to the Ravais-ch Lakes is worthwhile. You will be rewarded with a spectacular panorama.
