Magerrain

The Magerrain peak rises to 2,524 meters above sea level, forming a natural border between the cantons of Glarus and St. Gallen in Eastern Switzerland.

Glacial movements during the last ice age carved the current formation of Magerrain, creating sharp ridges and deep valleys in the Glarus Alps region.

Local mountaineering groups maintain traditional routes to Magerrain's summit, marking paths that connect different Swiss mountain communities across cantonal borders.

Hikers can reach Magerrain through multiple marked trails from Unterterzen, with a cable car service to Maschgenkamm offering easier access to the starting points.

The mountain serves as a natural compass point with a prominence of 357 meters, standing as the highest elevation between Walabützer Furggle and Risitenpass.
