Kesch-Trek Stage 4

On the last day of the Kesch Trek, a particularly beautiful place awaits you. Just before Preda lies the Lai da Palpuogna, which was named the "most beautiful spot in Switzerland" in a survey by Swiss television. It is often described as the "blue eye of the landscape," and indeed the Palpuogna lake shimmers in various shades of blue. In autumn, the contrast with the yellow larches is especially beautiful. Let yourself be enchanted by the surroundings and take a break at the barbecue spots around the lake.

Are you staying at Hotel Kulm Preda? Then you have already reached your daily destination in Preda. For everyone else, it goes on to Bergün.

Highlight:

Palpuogna Lake: One of the most beautiful mountain lakes in Switzerland. 

Hike the last part from Preda to Bergün on the railway adventure trail instead of taking the train. Information boards tell about the daring of the engineers of the Albula line, which was built over 100 years ago and has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2008. The hiking trail follows along the railway line and offers fascinating views of viaducts, spiral tunnels, and the confusing rail routing through the terrain.
