An unspoiled mountain landscape, in the midst of the Tektonikarena Sardona World Natural Heritage, accompanies us on this hike from Elm to the Weisstannen valley.

The hike starts in Elm and leads via Alp Ramin up to Foopass at 2223 m above sea level. Alp Ramin is one of the largest alpine pastures in the Glarus region and is divided into three sections, with pastures between 1,300 and 2,300 m above sea level. On the left hand, we are accompanied by the Foostock, where the structures of the Glarus main overthrust can be particularly well observed. 250 to 300 million-year-old Verrucano rests on 100 to 150 million-year-old limestones and below that the youngest 35 to 50 million-year-old flysch rocks.

From Foopass, we enjoy a breathtaking view of the Glarus Alps. Via Alp Foo and Walabütz we descend to Alp Vorsietz. A look back is worthwhile because the waterfalls from the alpine huts on Walabütz to the water intake on the Seez are very impressive. Tip: Try the fine Glarus alpine cheese at Alp Ramin. At Alp Siez you deserve a refreshment before you casually walk along the Seez towards Weisstannen.
