Planggenstock, Mountain summit in Glarus, Switzerland
The Planggenstock rises to 1675 meters in elevation, featuring steep slopes and a prominent ridge path that connects to neighboring Hirzli peak.
The mountain paths of Planggenstock have served as traditional routes for local farmers moving cattle between valley pastures and alpine meadows for generations.
Swiss mountaineers maintain the hiking trails around Planggenstock, marking them with the characteristic white-red-white signs of the national trail system.
The Niederurnen-Morgenholz cable car provides access to the mountain plateau, operating daily except during maintenance periods throughout the year.
During autumn and winter months, Planggenstock stands above a thick layer of fog that covers the Linth plain, creating an inverse weather phenomenon.
