Clariden High Trail

Route: Klausenpass - Fisetenpass mountain station (Clariden-Höhenweg)
This hike is characterized by pleasant differences in altitude and offers a wonderful view of the largest cow alp in Switzerland, the Urnerboden. The hike takes place over scree terrain. Worth seeing on the way: the Gletscherseeli at the foot of the Clariden north face and the rock formation «Tyyfelsfriedhof».

The Klausen connects the cantons of Uri and Glarus. After the impressive postbus ride to the top of the pass, the tour starts right next to the kiosk. The beginning is also the steepest part of the hike. She steers between smaller boulders directly towards the mighty Clariden north face. If you are quiet, you may hear the bells of the grazing sheep tinkling. On the way you come across several boulders. After a short zig-zag section over scree, the beautiful glacier lake appears behind it, to which you can now hike.
The place by the lake is also known as "Tyyfelsfriedhof". The name refers to a stone formation above the small Griesslisee. Two benches and several stones are ideal for a short break. You only have a full view of the glacier from here, because the ice tongue is littered with stones and rubble. After the somewhat steep and scree descent to the water intake, a 20 meter long bridge leads safely over the Fätschbach. This rises at the watershed of Linth and Reuss below the Clariden. After crossing it is practically level over the Griessbödemli, always accompanied by an impressive view of the Jägerstöcke on the other side of the valley.
In the Gemsfairenhüttli, roughly halfway between the lake and the Fisetenpass, fresh alpine products can be tasted during the alpine season. After refreshment from the Alpbeizli or from the rucksack, you continue without major differences in altitude over stony meadows over the Hasentritt and to the mountain station of the Urnerboden-Fisetengrat cable car. The difference in altitude of 600 meters to the Urnerboden can be easily overcome with the cable car. Knew? The Urnerboden is the largest cow alp in Switzerland and served as the main filming location for the SRF crime series "Wilder". Arriving in the valley, the post bus takes guests in the direction of Glarus and Urnerland.
