Glarus #4 – Segnespass (T3)


Details
The «Wanderpokal Glarnerland» is an idea to promote tourism in the canton of Glarus. Four hikes are proposed this year. Each features a hut in Glarus and one can collect a stamp to commemorate the achievement.
This is #4: Segnespass
(Unlike the proposed hike on the «Wanderpokal Glarnerland» website, we take the liberty and do not walk back down on the Glarus side. We cross the pass, go into Graubünden and all the way to Flims GR.)
############################
RSVP:
- RSVP will open a few days before the event.
- Here we need very very tight control over the numbers of participants.
At the start there is a cable car up with only 4 (!) seats in the cabin. And each round takes ca. 10 minutes. - Therefore, any late sign-out or no-show will mean: You have prevented someone else from participating.
Impact: Late sign-out or no-show = immediate expulsion from Zürich Hike & Outdoor due to inconsiderate conduct.
