This impressive crossing takes us from Urnerboden right into the heart of the Glarus high mountains. From the Clariden hut, we move step by step deeper into the high alpine world, crossing the Clariden and reaching the Planura hut via wide glaciers. We continue to the rustic Fridolinshütte before climbing the Tödi for the crowning finale. On the way, we experience everything that characterises classic mountaineering: wide glaciers, easy scrambling in the rock, exposed passages and long days in the high mountains. The tours on the Clariden include short, easy climbing sections, ideal for familiarising yourself with alpine terrain. The Tödi itself impresses with its size, its extensive glaciers and two secured passages that lead us safely to the summit. During the entire crossing, we consciously take time to build up knowledge and skills, practise procedures and gain confidence in high alpine terrain. An intensive week of mountaineering that ideally combines experience, training and travelling together in the high mountains.
We meet at Urner Boden, at the valley station of the Fiseten cable car.
The Fiseten cable car takes us up to the summit. From there, we hike at a leisurely pace to the Claridenhütte. The area around the hut is ideal for learning the techniques of mountaineering.
Early in the morning, we climb to the summit of Clariden in the first light of the day. After a well-earned rest at the summit, we descend to the Planura hut, where we fortify ourselves and spend the night.
On the third day, we will do some glacier training together on the way to the Fridolinshütte. In the evening we will spend the night in the Fridolinshütte.
Today the Tödi is on the programme. We enjoy the high alpine surroundings and climb to the summit together. Once at the top, we enjoy the view and savour the experience. We then descend via the same route to Linthal.
Back in Linthal, we say goodbye to each other and take home many special impressions of the day.

Accommodation
Planura Hut
The Planura hut towers high above the Clariden and Hüfifirn and is the highest hut of the SAC Glarus. Situated in the middle of a magnificent glacier world, it is an ideal base for ski and alpine tours. The modern and cosy hut offers a magnificent view of the vast icy landscape and invites you to linger after an eventful day of touring. An alpine base camp par excellence.
Fridolinshütte
The Fridolinshütte is a charming, rustic mountain hut at the foot of the mighty Tödi - perfectly situated for unforgettable ski tours and summit adventures.
After a day in the high alpine terrain, a warm parlour, delicious food and a real mountain hut atmosphere await you here.
That's what our guests say:
Spent 4 days on the Glarus Haute Route with Bergschaft over Easter and had a really great time. The tour was super organised throughout and was led passionately and without any hectic pace. Looking forward to the next tour :)
