Tödi ski tour | the highest in Glarus with a mountain guide
In an imposing glacier world on the Tödi, the highest mountain in the Glarus Alps.
The Tödi with its striking silhouette forms the impressive end of the Glarus Linthal. The ski tour to this summit is one of the most traditional high-altitude ski tours in Switzerland and is surrounded by numerous legends and stories. This long high-altitude ski tour rewards you with a unique mountain experience. The ascent and descent cover around 10 kilometres and 2900 vertical metres through an impressive high alpine landscape, under steep rock faces and over wide glaciers, through wild valleys and across magnificent ski slopes.
Venue & meeting point
Glarus Haute Route - around and up the Tödi:
Planned route
- From Tierfehd along the forest road to Hintersand (1300m). Then along the summer trail via Tentiwang and Bifertenalpeli to Fridolinshütte 2111m.
-
After a hearty breakfast, the headlamp is put on and the challenging ski tour up the Tödi begins. From the Fridolinshütte, the route leads in a south-westerly direction over the moraine to the Bifertenfirn. The ascent includes two challenging ice fractures; depending on the conditions, skis can be used or crampons are required. After the crevasse zone, the Bifertenfirn stretches out like a glistening carpet. Once you have conquered the "Wailing Wall", you can look forward to the nearby summit! The summit cross and the breathtaking view reward your efforts. The descent of over 2,800 metres in altitude along the ascent route challenges your thighs once again. The Tödi is a real adventure!
