Clariden-Höhenweg

This hike is characterised by comfortable differences in altitude and offers a sweeping view of Switzerland's largest cow pasture, the Urnerboden. The route leads over scree-covered terrain. Along the way: the small glacier lake at the foot of the north face of the Clariden and the "Tyyfelsfriedhof" (devil’s cemetery) rock formation.

The mountain trail, marked in white-red-white, begins at the Klausen Passhöhe bus stop. It climbs briskly across open pastures, reaching its highest point near Rau Stöckli at around 2,180 m. Rocky sections interrupt the lush green landscape before the small Griessseeli appears right beside the trail.

The route then sweeps in a wide arc through the barren high-alpine landscape. This section is characterised by steady ups and downs, amounting to around 580 metres of elevation gain in total. After the lowest point, the mountain trail climbs again and passes Gemsfairenhüttli. Towards the end, it follows the open slopes towards Fisetengrat.

After nine kilometres and a little over three hours, the hike ends at the Fisetenpass mountain station. The destination is not served by public transport; the nearest bus stop, Urnerboden, Sonne, is around 1.5 kilometres away.
