Hiking

From the Foopass, the Glarner Thrust is clearly visible. On the way you can see many marmots and with a bit of luck even ibexes. You should definitely keep an eye out for the Martinsloch, which I stupidly cut off in the photo!

Contrary to my tip from June 16th, the Martinshorn is not visible from the Foopass. Sorry for this faux pas!
