BRAUNWALD IN WINTER

Snorting horses, tinkling bells and softly trickling snow: on a romantic carriage ride through Braunwald you will experience your very own winter fairy tale.

Sit back and relax in the horse-drawn carriage and enjoy the view of quaint farms and chalets against the impressive mountain backdrop.

On a ride with the aperitif and fondue carriage you combine the romantic experience with typical Swiss culinary delights.

Child-friendly ski school, children's land for an optimal start. Those who are on skis for the first time learn the basics at the child-friendly Swiss Ski and Snowboard School Braunwald.

Once kids have mastered the first tricks, they will gain more confidence on the boards in Zwergen-Land Grotzenbüel. In the middle of the winter sports area there is a practical practice area.

In the Bartli course tunnel and with lots of cool practice aids, children quickly learn new tricks on skis and snowboard.

You want to get to know the winter world of Glarus from another side? Then put on your hiking boots or strap on your snowshoes!

20 km of winter hiking trails await you. The panoramic tour starts in the middle of the skiing area at the mountain station Grotzenbüel at 1559 meters above sea level and follows the ridge to the Seblengrat, through the ice gallery at Gumen and up to the historic Ortstockhaus.

In the rustic restaurant on the mountain you can strengthen yourself and admire the mountain panorama with punch or coffee.

If you want to go even higher, take off with the paraglider. From the paragliding launch site Braunwald-Dorf or from the Gumengrat, you go high into the air and look at the mountain panorama of the Glarus Alps from above.

Alone or on a tandem flight, you will soar over the Braunwald sun terrace, snow-covered mountain peaks and all the ski slopes. The Braunwald funicular and the Gumen combined cable car will take you to the two take-off sites.

Several providers on site introduce beginners to the basics of paragliding.
