Apparently, these couloirs also made it onto the cover of Ski-Journal [1]. You understand why when you see them. A very rewarding venture in the Glarus region. Since you don't usually find much information, maybe this helps someone. Depending on snow conditions, skis have to be carried at the beginning. The couloirs have a maximum slope of 45°, but are somewhat narrow. Ideal if you want to get a feel for such terrain. Skiing difficulty 4.1
