Climbing – high up with style and fun

The Glarus region is all about climbing up steep slopes – and with plenty of variety. The Braunwald via ferrata is a thrilling experience with a view: pure iron, rock and panorama. At the Widerstein climbing garden, you can train your technique, footwork and pace – in the middle of nature and with the best grip. And if the weather is not cooperating, you can head to the GLKB climbing and bouldering hall: modern, versatile and perfect for beginners and pros alike. Whether you prefer to hang on the wall, work on your grip or simply enjoy the height – here you will find your very own summit experience.
