Clariden ski tour from the Klausen Pass with a mountain guide
Beautiful summit, cool skiing terrain and a high start thanks to the Klausen Pass!
Are you tempted to get back on your skis? There's a lot of snow this year. Thanks to last weekend's snowfall period, we can ski some beautiful snow again. We go from the Klausen Pass to the Clariden, a prominent mountain with a great view of the Tödi massif and the Glarus mountains. Thanks to the Klausen Pass, we can start where the snow begins and ascend directly towards Clariden. The final ridge of the Clariden offers some more beautiful scrambling. This is defused with chains and leads to the summit. Here we are travelling with crampons and a rope. If you prefer to take it easy, you can also take a break at the ski depot and leave your crampons and ice axe at home. Are you coming back for another ski tour?
