Schabziger Höhenweg
The Schabziger Höhenweg runs partially along the famous Glarner Ziger Highway, beginning in Filzbach in the canton of Glarus and passing through points including Habergschwänd before finishing at Mollis, Oberruestel. The route traverses the Kerenzerberg ridge above the Walensee, with the Fronalp area offering panoramic views across the Glarnerland.
-
Kerenzerberg Römerweg
The route traces a Roman road from Näfels through the winding alleys and historic manor homes of Mollis, then climbs past dry stone walls to the Kerenzerberg ridge, where the sheer faces of the Glärnisch Massif, Rautispitz, and Wiggis fill the southern sky. Throughout, the deep-blue Lake Walensee and the Churfirsten mountain range hold steady on the horizon.
-
Ahornen-Rundweg
This loop circles alpine meadows and a lake above Näfels, dipping in and out of shady forests while tall mountain peaks rise on all sides — a setting one writer compared to Canada. The trail follows the Obersee Valley, weaving between open views and cool tree cover along the lakeshore and a river.
-
Linth-Uferweg
The Linth-Uferweg follows a broad, comfortable path along the river through an open valley, its banks thick with wild plants and punctuated by shady woodland stretches. Between the villages of Mitlödi and Ennenda the route climbs slightly above the Linth, opening up wide views across the valley to the massive mountains beyond, before passing a woodland rest stop with a fireplace.
