All tagged hut to hut hiking
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.
The Kesch Trek is a 4-day hut-to-hut hike in Graubünden — wild, remote, and genuinely off the beaten path. No villages, no roads, just high alpine terrain, glacial lakes, and barren mountain passes. We've done it twice. Here's everything you need to know.
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.
