Clariden, Alpine summit in Glarus Alps, Switzerland
The Clariden mountain rises to an elevation of 3,267 meters between the Swiss cantons of Uri and Glarus in the central Alps region.
The first recorded ascent of Clariden took place on August 13, 1863, when mountaineers Rambert, Streiff, and Stüssi successfully reached the summit.
The mountain represents the Alpine heritage of two distinct Swiss cantons, Uri and Glarus, each maintaining their mountain traditions and climbing practices.
Climbers can access the summit through routes starting from either the Clariden Hut or the Klausen Pass, requiring proper mountaineering equipment.
The mountain features two major glaciers: Hüfifirn on the western side flowing to Lake Lucerne and Claridenfirn on the east draining into Lake Zürich.
