In the summer, Raunaq and I are focused on high alpine hiking. But in the spring, when all the snow packs are melting, there’s no better time to wander through a Swiss valley - especially if that valley is the land of the 72 waterfalls. Lauterbrunnen might just be the most whimsical place in all of Switzerland. Which, in a land full of storybook towns and rolling green countrysides and aquamarine lakes, is saying something. It’s modern-day Rivendell, and it is spectacular.
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.
A seriously gorgeous hike that makes you feel like you are in the heart of Switzerland. The namesake three lakes (Seeaplsee, Fählensee, and Sämtisersee) are all beautiful in their own right, but this trail has so much on offer: a heart-pumping climb for a bird-eyes view of Seealpsee, the most charming herdsmans village of Megaslip tucked high and deep in the mountains, and sweeping views of Santis and the sharp, distinctive ridges of the Apstein - just to name a few of the highlights.
