Details

Description

The beautiful hike starts in Chants at the back of the wildly romantic Val Tours.  The mountain hiking trail along the Ava da Salect, between Forun and Kesch-Pitschen, leads over various terrain steps, past fragrant Iva, Achilleia Moschata, large boulders and whistling marmots to the glacier forefield of the Porchabella and Kesch glaciers. This special, barren and glacier-dominated area is particularly worthy of protection and belongs to landscapes of national importance.

Geheimtipp

  • On the ascent to the Kesch-Hütte SAC you will find the small, white flower Iva. Take a moment and smell it. Isn't it fantastic what strong, fresh, spicy scent this little plant sprays? Please only smell it and do not pick it. 
  • At the top, at 2625 m above sea level, is the Kesch Hut SAC. Fortify yourself for the descent with a fine rösti, a great hut soup or a fine piece of cake from the hut bakery. If you want to enjoy the spectacular view of the Bergüner Stöcke and the Piz Kesch longer, it is best to reserve a place to sleep here. 
  • If you feel like it, make a short detour to Alp digl Chant. (When reaching the Alpstrasse, left; less than 10 minutes) In the small Alp-Lädeli fresh yoghurt, butter and cheese are offered for sale.
  • Mountain restaurant Piz Kesch, cosy mountain restaurant.
