Davos - St. Moritz

Twice we spend two nights in one hut. This gives the opportunity to walk with a lighter backpack or even take a rest day. Except for one day, the daily stages are not particularly long, but with sufficient interest, enthusiasm, and good conditions, sometimes an extra is possible.

After the approach to the huts on the first day, the second day is used to practice in somewhat more difficult terrain. Once we have mastered the blocks, rubble, and scree, on the third day we can go onto the glacier. The glaciers in this mountain range are very suitable for a first introduction to ice: not too large or steep, but with beautiful transitions. There is ample opportunity to practice with crampons and glacier techniques. The glacier passage never needs to last longer than two hours, but we will take our time. On the fourth day we cross the Vadret da Porschabella, the glacier at the foot of the magnificent Piz Kesch.

Along the way, we will cross a road once, namely the Albula Pass road, which is only open in summer. We quickly leave the traffic behind and then enter the southern part of the Albula, where it is even quieter. Under good conditions, we try to climb Piz Calderas (3397m) from the lonely Val Jenatsch. The ascent and descent go mostly over the glacier. On the last day, a pass still needs to be crossed before the descent to St. Moritz can begin.
