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!

Itinerary

Day

Arrival in Davos

On Day 1, you will travel to Davos, the closest city to the starting point of the Kesch Trek. This vibrant alpine town is the perfect place to settle in and prepare for your adventure. You will spend the night in a comfortable hotel, allowing you to rest and acclimate before starting your trek the next day.

Your trek begins at the Flüela Pass, which is over 2,300 metres high. You will be immediately rewarded with panoramic views of the surrounding area. From here, you will steadily gain altitude along a clearly marked mountain path as you make your way towards Fuorcla Radönt, the highest point of the day at 2,786 metres. This mountain saddle marks the transition between the rugged Schwarzhorn–Radönt ridgeline and the vast, open expanse of the Val Grialetsch. Watch out for marmots, which can often be spotted here!

Later on, you will reach a clear alpine lake, nestled amongst rugged rock and boulder fields. The final 1.5 km of the route includes T3 terrain, which will put your alpine experience to the test. Finally, you will reach your mountain hut, nestled in a remote high valley and boasting incredible views.

The lake’s crystal-clear waters shimmer in different shades of blue, creating a mesmerizing scene, especially in autumn, when the golden larch trees reflect in the water. Take your time to soak in the tranquility, enjoy the scenic surroundings, and perhaps have a leisurely break at one of the barbecue areas around the lake. Afterward, follow the gentle descent to Preda, where you can choose to spend the night or continue onward to Bergün for a relaxing conclusion to your trek.
