Klausen Pass
Are you tempted to get back on your skis? There's still some really nice snow. Thanks to last weekend's snowfall, we're able to ski in 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 beautiful scrambling, which is defused with chains and leads in a cool line to the summit. In this passage we are travelling with crampons and ropes. 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?
Procedure and meeting place
We meet at the Klausen Pass. The pass is now open and we can drive all the way up. Depending on the situation, it may also be possible to carpool from Ziegelbrücke or Linthal.
We climb the Clariden together from the top of the Klausen Pass. The ascent to the summit offers exciting, easy scrambling, which is secured with chains.
We finish the tour together back at the Klausen Pass.
