Technics
Endurance
Bifertenstock, Glarus
This impressive high-altitude tour takes us from Tierfehd up into the wild and unspoilt mountain world around the Bifertenstock. Via the approach to the Bifertenhütte, we immerse ourselves step by step in high alpine terrain and leave the valley far behind us. The remote location of the hut and the surrounding mountain landscape set the perfect mood for the day ahead. The highlight of the tour is the ascent of the Bifertenstock with the famous crossing of the Bänderweg. This leads spectacularly through steep flanks and natural rock bands and requires concentrated, safe walking in exposed terrain. Technically, the route is easy to moderately challenging, but requires surefootedness, a head for heights and a good feel for the terrain. Short scrambling sections and airy passages make this tour particularly varied and impressive. On the way, we experience classic mountaineering in its original form: a lonely route, exposed terrain, contact with glaciers and plenty of time in the high mountains. This tour is a special experience in the Glarus Alps.
Procedure and meeting place
We meet in the course of the morning in Tierfehd, Glarus
Wir verkürzen unseren Aufstieg um einige Höhenmeter mit der Luftseilbahn Tierfehd – Kalktrittli. An der Muttseehütte vorbei steigen wir bis zum Kistenpass auf und erblicken schon bald unser Übernachtungsziel, die schmucke Bifertenhütte.
Über den eindrucksvollen Bänderweg steigen wir früh morgens Richtung Bifertenstock auf. Wir geniessen die wunderschöne Aussicht, vermutlich für uns allein, von diesem besonderen Glarner Gipfel. Den Abstieg nehmen wir erneut über den Bänderweg zurück zum Limmerenpass. Von dort nehmen wir den Weg über das Limmerenband hinab zum Limmerensee. Der Zugangsstollen zum Kalktrittli bringt uns zurück zur Luftseilbahn, die uns zurück ins Tal fährt.
We finish the tour together back in Tierfehd. We return home with impressive scenic images and a unique experience.
