After Tödi, Clariden is the second most popular ski tour in the Glarus Alps. The ascent leads along the gentle Claridenfirn glacier from Claridenhütte to the foot of Clariden and then through a wide northeast slope to the top pyramid. Beautiful views of the entire Glarus Alps and the neighboring Uri Alps. Descent copies the ascent track. A popular alternative is to continue crossing the Planura hut after descending the steep slope turn right to Claridenpass.

Tödi 3614 m
Fridolinshütte Glarus Alps Switzerland
- Length of ascent6 km
- ascent1495 m
- duration7-10 h
- Fitness difficulty ♦♦♦◊
- Technical difficulty ♦♦♦♦
In the Middle Ages, Tödi was considered the highest mountain in the world. Today it is an attractive destination for ski mountaineers, but it is not easy to hit good weather. The ascent is made difficult by a glacier littered with fractures and cracks. Starts from the Fridolins hut over the moraine and descends briefly to the Bifertenfirn glacier. The hardest part is to overcome the first two drops, then the climb up is relatively easy. Depending on the conditions on skis or with crampons to the summit. Provides information about the current conditions on the glacier in the Fridolinshütte.

The Gross Schärhorn is a striking mountain with a peak in the form of open scissors. Accessible from the Planura hut, first descend the Hüfifirn glacier. From the foot of the Schärhorn on the southeast slope upwards, in places steeper than 30°. It is advantageous to combine the ski tour with the great descent to Urnerboden. First you have to ascend to the Chammlijoch saddle (3004 m) and then enjoy the descent to the Klausen pass on the northern slopes and continue to the Urnerboden (parking, public transport).

From the Planura panorama hut, Clariden is an attractive and relatively close destination. Height difference of only 500 m and no complicated passages. Over the Claridenpass glacier saddle to the Claridenfirn glacier and down the slope. In the Claridenpass saddle, you can occasionally observe modified passenger planes on skis to land in the snow.

Grosses Grünhorn 4044 m
Konkordiahütte Berner Alpen / Alpes bernoises Switzerland
- Length of ascent7 km
- ascent1380 m
- duration6,5-8,5 h
- Fitness difficulty ♦♦♦◊
- Technical difficulty ♦♦♦◊
Gross Grünhorn is the only 4000 meter in the Konkordiahütte area. The ascent leads from Konkordiaplatz along the edge of the Ewigschneefeld glacier and then along the northwestern slopes of the Grünhorn ridge. Beware of glacier cracks around the saddle between Grünegghorn and Gross Grünhorn. Not far from the saddle is a ski depot, from which you can go up with crampons and ice ax. The descent along the ascent route is safer than the descent variant through Grüneggfirn (glacier cracks).

The Piz Palü with its characteristic three pillars is probably the most popular "not 4000" in the Alps. The exit from the Berghaus Diavolezza is ideal, it is also possible from the Bovalhütte. The key point for the ascent and descent is the passage of the Labyrinth between the Seraks. Continue over a relatively steep glacier to the ski depot. Then ascent with ice axe and crampons along the exposed summit ridge. The usual goal of ski mountaineers is the eastern summit - 3882 m.
