Three Valleys Hike
Activity overview
This hike is your chance to visit three different valleys on the same trip. Starting at 14:00 the first day from the centre, sleep in the Ueschinen Hut at 1'890 meters. The next day you will gain some elevation and get to see lovely sceneries from many different places. At the end of the hike, we will take the cable car down to KISC.

There is a kitchen at the hut available to use for all groups staying there. This includes two stoves (one wood burning and one gas), access to fresh water, cooking utensiles, plates, cups, cutlery, oil and spices.

When cooking your dinner at the hut, please remember to cook for your Pinkie guide too.

Please help us to take care of our huts for future groups by cleaning the hut before you leave, and recycling as you would do at the centre. Your Pinkie guide will be on hand to answer any questions you have about this.
