Kesch-Hütte SAC 2625 m

Located in the midst of Ela Nature Park with up-to-date infrastructure, the Chamanna digl Kesch attracts mountaineers and climbers as well as mountain bikers, seminar participants and families. In the Keschhut there are a game room and outdoor playground and bouldering possibilities are close to the cabin. In summer and winter it is a stopover on multi-day hikes (such as «Kesch-Trek» or «Haute Route Graubünden») between Albulatal and Flüela and between Engadin and Davos.
