Description

From the Schesaplana Hut, head east and begin to climb up as you follow the high-altitude trail to Golrosa, and pass the Cavelljoch Pass at 2,239m.

Keep following the high-altitude trail up to the Schweizertor (Swiss Gate) and begin to descend in the direction of the towering rock formation of the Drusenfluh Peak.

Follow the trail all the way down to the day’s final destination: the Carschina Hut.

The hut is not only a beautiful Eschenmoser design, but it's situated in perhaps the most stunning setting of the whole trek.
