Sertig Waterfall Hike – Pure Idyl

A very varied hike is the Sertig Waterfall hike, which leads from Restaurant Zum Bergführer on an easy path directly to the wonderful Ducan Waterfall. I walked this trail for the first time today with my family, and we had a wonderful day there. This hike clearly belongs in the category of excursion tips with 10 points and more for Graubünden.

Sertig Waterfall Hike

From Davos, you can reach Sertig Dörfli by car in 20 minutes. By post bus, it takes a little longer, and you can catch it hourly on line 8 (as of 2020-07-12) from Davos Platz to Sertig Dörfli.

Up on Restaurant Zum Bergführer arrived, you walk on a more or less straight path towards the waterfall. There is a path marked and signposted as „Pedestrian“. This is, of course, more beautiful than the road. We walked the path with a stroller, but would advise you to take the road with a stroller, which we also did on the way back.

Discover the landscape

The Sertig Waterfall hike in Graubünden is stroller-friendly up to about 100 meters before the waterfall. The hike time is listed as 30 minutes, which is accurate...if you don't have kids with you 🙂

The 3.8 km trail (round trip!!) leads past the beautiful Sertig stream and across meadows and pastures, surrounded by the mighty Alps of Prättigau. Upon arriving in Sertig Sand, you will pass the Hotel Walserhuus and continue walking towards the waterfall, which is very well signposted. From here, however, you can already see the waterfall.

In the Sertig Valley, the Kühalp, Ducan, and Alpelibach streams merge to form the Sertigbach. This flows to Davos Frauenkirch, where it empties into the Landwasser.

Picnic spot in Sertig

Since there's already so much to discover, we'll have an extensive picnic right after turning towards the waterfall, directly by the river. The kids can play there for a while. Since Sertig is at 1850 m, it's relatively cool here with about 18 degrees in mid-July and right by the water, which is why we'll continue after eating.

Duncan Waterfall

The Ducan Waterfall (Sertig Waterfall) is by far one of the most beautiful waterfalls I have seen in Graubünden. We spend some time here doing a photoshoot 🙂 and the kids throw almost all the stones lying around into the water.

In the afternoon, we start our way back and realize... the one-hour round trip is definitely calculated without the kids.

Conclusion

The Sertig Waterfall hike is a great destination if you're in Prättigau, but it's also definitely worth it if you're coming from Chur. It's a family-friendly hike in Graubünden and especially suitable for strollers.
