Hiking in the Glarus region
Switzerland
The geographically diverse canton of Glarus is characterized by significant elevation differences. The flat valley floor of the region lies at around 400 m above sea level, while the highest peak of the Glarus Alps, the Tödi, rises to about 3600 m. Hikers will find a corresponding variety of both easy and challenging tours. An easy hike, which nevertheless leads through mountainous terrain, is the tour around the Klöntaler See, which originally formed due to a landslide. Popular tours can also be found at the fjord-like, beautiful Walensee.
