Every September, we close out the summer with a hut-to-hut hike, and this year took us around the Val d'Anniviers in Valais. Over three days, we hiked from the electric-blue Lac de Moiry to the foot of a glacier, over windswept passes, and down into the golden, road-free Vallon de Réchy, staying in two huts that couldn't have been more different.
Our itinerary was inspired by a few stages of the Alpine Passes long-distance trail (Stages 21-24). The entirety of this hike is within the Valais Alps, in the French region of Switzerland. It is five days of high-alpine hiking, with four nights in remote mountain huts, and some of the most beautiful scenery I’ve ever seen. Every day was somehow more impressive than the last. I don’t say this lightly, but: this might be one of the best multi-day hikes in Switzerland.
The Kesch trek is a 4 day trek in Graübunden. It was recommended to me by a fellow hütte dweller at Blüemlisalphütte. She said it was a great trek - a lovely region with each stage being a good challenge and length - not too easy and not too hard - kinda like a Goldilocks trek. She was dead right.
