On this day you will hike over the Scaletta Pass. On your way to the SAC hut “Kesch-Hütte” enjoy a short detour, which takes you to the two Alpine lakes Ravais-ch Sout and Lai da Ravais-ch. They lie in a small valley beneath the mighty Piz Murtelet Sur. In the evening the Kesch-Hütte awaits you with good food, warmth and overall cosiness.
From the Kesch-Hütte you will first descend to the Alp digl Chant. Here you can fortify yourself with local delicacies like yoghurt, Alpine cheeses, and milk. Afterwards you continue on the steep ascent up to the Fuorcla Pischa.
After another descent you will reach the SAC hut “Chamanna d’Es-cha”. The parlour with its richly stucco decorated ceiling is unique for a SAC hut. Recharge with a portion of well-earned barley soup or with a homemade Engadinian walnut tart.
The last day of the Kesch trek will take you from the Chamanna d’Es-cha hut back to the valley. On your way the varying views of green mountain pastures and rugged peaks accompany your descent. A highlight of this leg of the tour is the sparkling lake, Lai da Palpuogna.
Finally, the route takes you through forests and meadows to Bergün. Throughout your journey on this day the Albula Railway track, which is renowned for being a UNESCO World Heritage Site, weaves its way across your path.
