Description

Early spring hike to the Obersee

Level medium/easy, for fit beginners, 900m uphill elevation, 14km length

Update: Danger level 3 issued for strong winds. Possible consequences: broken branches, falling trees

The weather is promised to be mostly sunny and mild on Saturday, so I would like to hike up to the Obersee, 'cause I am still in love with the Canton Glarus.

There will be some snow on the top, but probably not much. I expect to find the path partially muddy and slippery.

Start from Näfels-Mollis SBB train station at 09:10 am. The train IR35 departs from Zürich HB at 08:12, then there is a quick change at Ziegelbrücke. The S6 arrives at 09:07 am to Näfels-Mollis.

Difficulty: T2, not T1.

Pace: ~300/350 uphill meters per hour.

Schedule: we should reach the Obersee by around 12:00, enjoy the beautiful views and have lunch nearby. The Berghotel Obersee is currently closed until 1. Mai (https://www.berghotel-obersee.ch/), so please don't forget to bring food and beverage with you. We start going down at 1:30 pm in order to reach the train station at 4:00-4:15 pm and take the direct train to Zürich HB at 16:21.

Meeting point: Näfels-Mollis train Station at 09:10 am.

If you come by public transportation, click on "Carpool" and "Add Car", and add the train as a car.

If you come by car, park at the Park+Rail spots of the train station.

Recommended gear: Hiking shoes/boots; dress in layers; sunscreen; hiking poles.
