Kesch Trek: an Alpine trail between Flüela Pass und Albula Pass
Overview
Intro
The Kesch Trek offers four days of spectacular hiking in the Graubünden mountains. Stunning mountain scenery with wild valleys, rugged peaks and imposing glacier landscapes.
Description
On this hike in the midst of the Graubünden mountains, you can switch off from everyday life. Experience the tranquil and yet spectacular high Alpine region between Flüela Pass and Albula Pass.
The first stage is gentle, taking only two-and-a-half hours. It leads you past Alp Grialetsch to Grialetschhütte. Hardy souls can take a dip in one of the nearby mountain lakes. The next stages take four to six hours. The trail leads past numerous 3,000m peaks, and, on the third day, you can even see into the Engadin region. Finally, it drops down to the Albula Pass and onwards to Bergün, where four unforgettable days come to an end.
The three SAC huts along the route – the Grialetschhütte, the Kesch-Hütte and the Es-Cha Hütte – have joined forces to offer the multi-day trip as a bookable package. This includes half-board and optional picnic lunches, so you can enjoy the unique countryside on the Kesch Trek with a light rucksack. Off we go!
An enjoyable tour includes the careful planning of the same. Please inform yourself in advance at the local information center about the route and weather conditions. Depending on the season and weather conditions, this route may be blocked or interrupted
