Winter hiking – enjoying the peace, enjoying the snow, enjoying life

When winter hiking in the Glarus region, it’s not the speed that counts, but the feeling: the crunch of snow under your feet, the clear mountain air and the moment when the sun makes the snow sparkle. On well-prepared trails, you hike through snow-covered forests, over wide slopes and to breathtaking viewpoints. Whether a leisurely stroll or a sporty tour – winter hiking is natural wellness. No lifts, no hustle and bustle, just you, the snow and a whole lot of happiness
