Summit Hike
Braunwald is Switzerland's legendary car-free alpine village, perched on a sun-soaked terrace
1300 m above the Linth valley in Glarus. Reached only by funicular, it's a small but mighty
year-round playground: big ski terrain facing the Tödi range in winter, some of the quietest
hiking and family mountain biking in Switzerland in summer, and a kid-focused atmosphere that
keeps it on every Swiss family's shortlist.
