Path to the Hiking Cup
The local brewery «Adler» brews beer for connoisseurs in Glarus. Elmer Citro refreshes with its fresh mineral water and Elmer Citro on hot summer days. The perfect combination of the two beverages results in the delicious «Glarner Adler Pfiff». What's more, the Glarus mountains are a real treat that also encourages top performance. That's also what the Hiking Cup Challenge Glarnerland, the challenge from VISIT Glarnerland, the brewery «Adler» and Elmer Citro, demands. You do the tours, we provide the enjoyment.
We’ve started our third season! Have you already got a stamp card at home that is partially stamped? Don't worry. Just keep hiking until you've completed all four tours.
Six steps to the Hiking Cup:
1. Order your stamp card here.
2. Prepare your first tour to one of the four huts.
3. Lace up your hiking boots, pack your stamp card and get started.
4. Near the hut you’ll find a tap where you can stamp your stamp card 1x with which you’ll get a free « Adler » beer, Elmer Citro or mineral water.
5. Complete the other three tours and get all four stamps.
6. Send in the completed stamp card to VISIT Glarnerland, Touristinfo Glarnerland, Niederacher 1, 8867 Niederurnen.

Tour descriptions to the four huts
Well prepared is half the hike
1. Put on solid hiking boots. Not only do they stabilize your feet, they also protect you from slipping and you can comfortably cross a mountain stream without getting your feet wet.
2. Check the route length and difficulty, cable car timetables and pay attention to the weather forecast.
3. Take enough to drink along the way.
4. Start early enough to avoid walking in the midday sun.
5. Intending to enjoy the mountain scenery a little longer? Book a night at the hut well in advance.
