Käsepass Alp Vorder Durnachtal

The Durnachtal is a wild, steep, impressive valley. Located at the foothills of the Hausstock on the Grosstal side, it captivates with three Alps: Alp Vorder, Alp Mittler and Alp Hinter Durnachtal.

All three produce the finest Glarus alpine cheese, and all three are worth a visit. The cheese pass box can be found here at the alpine hut of Rebekka and Martin Zimmermann, Vorder Durnachtal.

They produce organic alpine cheeses such as Nidelchäs, Chrüüter-Alpchäs or Alp raclette cheese and there are many fine things in the Alpkiosk. A linger in the rustic valley.

The Durnachtal is a high valley in the district of Linthal. It is crossed by the mountain stream Durnagel, which rises in the mighty basin at the foot of the Ruchi north face from the hidden Hintersulzfirn. This flickers down to an altitude of 1800 metres and is one of the deepest glaciers in the Alps. The right side of the valley lies in the Federal Hunting Prohibition Area of Kärpf. The Richetli Pass connects the villages of Linthal and Elm.

Vorder Durnachtal is located at the entrance to the valley basin with the Unterstafel Berg and Längen and the Oberstafel Heustafel and is owned by the Alp Vorderdurnachtal Foundation. The alp extends from 1220 m to 2400 m above sea level. M.
