The Segnespass is the passage from Grisons to Glarus or vice versa. It offers a spectacular view of the upper Segnesboden and the Sernf valley with the Kärpf nature reserve area. 
The Segnespass is a great place to stay and the Segnespass Mountain Lodge - the highest accommodation within the World Heritage area - is located at the top of the pass. From up there you can enjoy one of the best views of the World Heritage area and the cantons of Glarus and Grisons.
