The Via GeoAlpina is a joint project of the Alpine countries, launched as part of the International Year of Planet Earth 2007. The project aims to bring the geological, geomorphological or hydrological highlights along the various ViaAlpina routes from Trieste to Monaco closer to the public.

Two stages of the Via GeoAlpina run right through the Sardona World Heritage Site.

The first leads from Weisstannen to Elm. On this stage, you can observe a geological phenomenon of world class: the Glarus thrust fault. This shapes the landscape along the route and is clearly visible on the mountain slopes.
