Glarus Sud

Glarus Süd straddles the upper Linth River in the canton of Glarus, and its settlements have developed along a steep Alpine valley beneath the Glarus Alps. Formed in 2011 by the merger of eight municipalities, it is Switzerland’s largest municipality by area and includes communities such as Elm, Linthal and Schwanden. Above Elm, the Martinsloch is a natural opening in a rock face through which the sun shines at particular times of year; this landscape belongs to the UNESCO-listed Swiss Tectonic Arena Sardona. Hiking routes, mountain railways and the Klausen Pass road connect the valley with higher terrain.
