Description

Out in the middle of the Graubünden mountain world, leave everyday life in the valley behind. Experience on foot between Flüela and Albula Pass the quiet and spectacular world of the high mountains. The SAC huts Grialetsch, Kesch, and Es-cha have come together and offer the Kesch Trek as a four-day mountain route bookable as a package.

Stages:

Stage 1: Davos Dürrboden - Grialetschhütte SAC

Stage 2: Grialetschhütte SAC - Kesch-Hütte SAC

Stage 3: Kesch-Hütte SAC - Es-cha-Hütte SAC

Stage 4: Es-cha-Hütte SAC - Preda or Bergün

Safety Note

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

Each October and from late April to late May, the Swiss Army carries out 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 in the huts), sufficient water, sun and head protection, a small first aid kit, maps for orientation, and possibly hiking poles.

Directions

The Kesch Trek is marked as a mountain hike with white-red-white markers. It uses the signage of existing hiking trails between Flüela and Albula Pass.

Directions
