The trail to the Kesch Mountain Hut passes over the Scaletta Pass and along the Panorama Trail, which lies on the route of the annual “Swiss Alpine Marathon”. Today you spend the night in the Kesch Mountain Hut, which was rebuilt in 2001 and is regarded as a model hut in the Alps in terms of energy supply and concept. It has also been awarded the European Union eco-label and is the winner of the Swiss Solar Award.

Author’s recommendation

A detour to the Ravaisch lakes is a must en route to the Kesch Mountain Hut. You will be rewarded by a magnificent panoramic vista.

Duration: approx. 20 minutes.
