Basic information Glarus

Glarus, the smallest of Switzerland's cantonal capitals, lies up in the mountains at the foot of the Glärnisch. The canton shares the name with the city and boasts a rich industrial heritage. Hikers, climbers, bikers, and amateur geologists succumb to the charms of this diverse holiday and daytrip destination. With an extraordinary wealth of geological and historical mining sites to see, the Glarnerland forms the intercantonal GeoPark together with the Sarganserland and Lake Walen regions.
