Netstal: Hotel Rhodannenberg - Klöntalersee
Klöntalersee lies in a steep, enclosed valley of the Glarus Alps in the canton of Glarus, and this confined setting has concentrated roads, recreation and hospitality along the water’s edge. The lake originated when a prehistoric landslide blocked the valley; its level was later raised by a dam for hydropower. Hotel Rhodannenberg is a lakeside hotel and restaurant serving the Klöntal valley, where forested slopes rise sharply above the shore and limestone mountains define the wider terrain. The canton is also associated with Glarner Schabziger, a distinctive hard cheese flavoured with blue fenugreek. Reached from Netstal and Glarus, Klöntalersee is a base for walking, cycling and mountain excursions.

Netstal stands where the Löntsch meets the Linth in the canton of Glarus, and this junction of valley routes links the settlement with both the main Glarus valley and the Klöntal. Steep Alpine slopes rise close to its compact built-up area, while the Löntsch valley extends west towards Lake Klöntal beneath the Glärnisch massif. Since Glarus’s municipal reorganisation in 2011, Netstal has been part of the municipality of Glarus. The canton is also known for its Landsgemeinde, the open-air popular assembly still held annually in Glarus.

Glarus combines a compact alpine valley with a long civic tradition in a way that reflects its position within eastern Switzerland. The Linth runs through the canton beneath the Glarus Alps, where steep valley sides and high passes have long shaped settlement and travel. Its defining geological landmark is the UNESCO-listed Swiss Tectonic Arena Sardona: the Glarus Thrust places older rock layers above younger ones. Glarus also retains the legacy of the Landsgemeinde, the open-air cantonal assembly formerly held in its capital, and is associated with Schabziger, a green cheese flavoured with blue fenugreek.

Switzerland stretches from the Jura Mountains in the northwest to the Alps in the south, encompassing a central plateau of cities, farms and lakes. The Rhine rises in the Swiss Alps, while Lake Geneva forms part of the country’s southwestern border. Zürich, Geneva and Basel are major urban centres, yet mountain railways and passes remain central to how many regions are experienced. Four national languages—German, French, Italian and Romansh—reflect Switzerland’s distinct cantonal identities. The Matterhorn above Zermatt is among Europe’s most recognisable peaks, and the 1291 Federal Charter is closely associated with the country’s founding tradition.
