The Graubünden region is famous for its enchanting winter season, but few people know about its beauty during spring and summer. From June to October, as the snow melts, breathtaking trekking trails like the Kesch Trek are revealed.

The 4-day Kesch Trek is a Swiss classic and one of the most beautiful treks in the Graubünden region. On this trek, you will cross the Flüela and Albula Passes and spend your nights in cozy mountain huts. On your final day, you will visit Lai da Palpuogna, described by locals as the most beautiful lake in Switzerland. This trip includes comfortable accommodation in Davos and Bergün before and after your trek.

The Kesch Trek offers a diverse landscape, leading you through wide valleys, glaciers, dramatic rock formations, and emerald-blue lakes. Lace up your hiking boots and discover this hidden Swiss gem in the heart of Graubünden!
