Well-anchored ladders, steel dowels, and steel cables make climbing these mountains a cinch. The lay climber is safely attached with a climber's harness and secured with a snap hook. There is one condition to using these installations though: users should not be prone to vertigo: below you is a deep abyss, around you a grand vista. Looming in the south is the mighty Mt Tödi and the white Clariden Mountain. In the opposite direction are the Hausstock, and the Kärpf massif. Sometimes you can observe colorful parachutes gliding above the miniature houses of the Glarus Valley.
The climbing installations may only be used if you wear a climber's harness and a helmet. These can be rented in Braunwald. For more information: Tel. +41 (0)55 643 22 22 or +41 (0)55 643 13 24.
How to get there:
Drive or take public transportation from Zurich to Ziegelbrücke/Glarus to Linthal, mountain train to Braunwald.

The silver-gray Eggstock Mountains tower high above the sunny car-free resort of Braunwald. The limestone cliffs have long been a well kept secret among mountain climbers. And because climbing in full view of the snow-capped Glarner Mountains and the Lynthal Switzerlandalley is such a wonderful experience, even beginners can enjoy these routes and conquer the Eggstock Mountains.
