The Richetli Pass is a wonderful pass between Linthal and Elm. The Linthal side is significantly steeper than the Elm side. Coming from Linthal, you'll have your first glimpse of the Glarus Thrust here, before admiring the entire spectacle from the Wichlenmatt.

A really beautiful mountain pass that takes you from the canton of Graubünden to Glarus (Elm). The last part is up a steep metal staircase, otherwise it would be quite a climb! You can also sit very nicely on the rocks above the hut.

Alpine transition with great views of the surrounding mountains

The path is steep - but in dry weather the fine scree is surprisingly easy to grip. Upwards so exhausting, but not really dangerous. Poles are good for going downhill to take some pressure off your knees. The warning that it could be dangerous here clearly refers to bad weather conditions, in dry weather the route is only strenuous but not dangerous

The last few meters from the Graubünden side used to be a somewhat demanding scramble - but for some time now it has been possible without any problems thanks to a stable metal staircase
