Glarus tourism opens up one of the most unspoiled mountain cantons in eastern Switzerland, a land of steep valleys, glacier peaks and traditional cheese-making villages. The Tödi, the highest peak, towers above, while the car-free resort of Braunwald sits on a sunny terrace above the Linth valley.The Klöntalersee is a mirror-like lake in a forest cirque, and Elm in the Sernftal valley holds a dramatic tectonic geology site on the UNESCO list. Glarus town has a unique pink-green Schabziger cheese tradition. The canton is calm and rarely crowded. A day trip from Zürich is easy, but an overnight stay is rewarding between June and October.
