01/ Overview
The route
Enjoy the ultimate in cross-country skiing pleasure on the Töditritt, the biggest trail in Glarus. It runs through the Grosstal valley and Switzerland’s second largest municipality, always affording a view of the Tödi, the highest peak in the Glarus Alps.
The starting point in Schwanden is not directly served by public transport; the Schwanden GL, Spittel bus stop is around 400 m away. From here, the trail initially runs through Nidfurn and Leuggelbach. Between the houses, open meadows repeatedly come into view, characterising the valley floor. Via Luchsingen, the route passes the Skistübli and continues towards Betschwanden and Rüti with gentle rises.
The route gradually gains elevation until roughly the halfway point. Below the Chilchenstogg, the trail reaches its highest point at around 700 m. It then descends into the valley again. Open spaces alternate with village houses; there are no major climbs, although the entire circuit accumulates around 360 metres of ascent. The trail returns to Schwanden via Hätzingen. After just under six hours, the cross-country skiing tour ends back at the starting point; from here, it is around 400 m to the bus stop.
