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

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.

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.

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).

The ascent to the Isenfürggli saddle is a worthwhile addition after successful descents from Pischahorn or Isentällispitz. Especially in firn conditions or fresh powder, it is a rewarding destination. From the saddle, there is a beautiful view of the Silvretta range, with the striking Piz Linard as its centerpiece.

Piz Buin ze švýcarské strany je zajímavější túra než ze strany rakouské. výstup v závěrečné části je stejný. Pod stěnu vede trasa přes sedla Plan Mezdi a Fuorcla dal Cunfin. Za stabilní sněhové pokrývky je alternativou sjezd žlabem Buinlücke.
