The visitor centre in Glarus is located in the rooms of the Glarus Nature Centre and is the starting point for the geological city walk through Glarus.

With the Glarus Visitor Centre, an important tandem for the future of the Sardona World Heritage Site and the Glarus region has been created at the two locations Glarus (in the nature centre, Glarus railway station building) and Elm (in the old schoolhouse, Sandgasse 1, Elm).

The Glarus site will soon provide facts about the World Heritage Site, the formation of mountains and their function as habitats and points the way to geological sights.

Elm is the place of in-depth study of the questions of geology and world heritage as well as the starting and finishing point of excursions, e.g. with a GeoGuide.
