Day 1: Ascent to the Kesch Hut 2625m
Meet your guide at the train station in Davos and drive to the Sertig valley. After quick introductions, you will mount your skins and begin your tour. You’ll hike leisurely into the Chüealp valley and then climb steadily to the Sertig pass. During a short break, you will enjoy the tranquility of the region, and hopefully the sunshine. A short descent leads you into the Val dal Tschüvel. One more small ascent guides you to a well deserved resting point at the Kesch Hut.
Day 2: Scalettahorn 3067m and further to the Grialetsch Hut 2540m
Early in the morning you will descend along the Val Funtauna. While mounting your skins on Alp Funtauna you can watch the first rays of sunlight illuminate the highest mountains in the region. You’ll slowly climb up to Vallorgia and your summit destination will soon be in sight. After some moderately steep climbs, you’ll reach the summit of Scalettahorn at 3067m. From the summit, a traverse will lead you to Fuorcla Vallorgia. A descent to your overnight home, the Grialetsch Hut, is the perfect conclusion to the day. At the hut you’ll enjoy the afternoon sun and a drink.
Day 3: Chüealphorn 3077m and descent into the Sertig valley
After breakfast you will start your touring day with a comfortable descent. At Ober Schönbüel you’ll put on your skins and set off to the Scalettapass. Steady climbing over crests and hollows leads you to the Chüealp glacier. From here the ascent gets steeper and you’ll set up a ski depot just before the summit. You’ll approach the final meters on foot and arrive at the summit of Chüealphorn. Savor warm tea and worthwhile views at the top before collecting your gear and making a long descent to the Sertig valley.
