The Fridolinshütte is the most visited hut in the Glarner Alps, because everyone wants to reach the summit of the Tödi. Classic stone chalet, accessible both from the cable car to Fisetengrat and from Tierfed (Linthal).

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.
