Glarus Haute Route

The traverse from Glarnerland, from the rustic Maderanertal, over Schärhorn, Clariden and the Tödi is wonderful. Together we experience the glaciers, scramble in easy terrain and enjoy the time in the high mountains. On the tours we have plenty of time to teach you the necessary knowledge and skills to be able to tackle the tour on the Tödi. The tours on the Schärhorn and the Clariden include short, easy climbs. The tour on the Tödi has two via ferrata-like sections and leads over gigantic glaciers.

  • Procedure and meeting place

    Day: Approach to the Hüfi Hut
    Day: Tour of the Schärhorn and traverse to the Planura Hut
    Day: Tour of the Clariden and descent to Fridolinshütte
    Day: Tour of the Tödi and descent to Tierfehd, Alpine taxi to Linthal

  • Requirements

    • Experience in hiking and walking in pathless terrain
    • Initial experience with ice axe and crampons an advantage
    • Condition for high altitude tours with around 1200hm ascent and descent at a comfortable pace (~300hm/h).

    Spent 4 days on the Glarus Haute Route with Bergschaft over Easter and had a really great time. The tour was super organised throughout and was led passionately and without any hectic pace. Looking forward to the next tour :)
