    The route goes through the southern part of the Glarus Alps. We start in the Vorderrhein Valley (= Surselva), in the canton of Graubünden (= Grischun) and walk back to Graubünden via Uri and Glarus. During the route, we climb several peaks over 3000 meters.

    The day-to-day schedule will be filled in with the participants. We expect an active role from everyone, both during preparation in the Netherlands and during the route. Because we stay several days in the same hut, there is enough room for day hikes and climbs.

    Note: This route was previously listed by the NKBV. Due to possible changing conditions, you are always responsible for checking the current route conditions yourself. Get information from the local tourist office or the experts in the relevant region, so you go out safely and well prepared.
