Glarner Alps

The Glarus Alps stretch across central Switzerland, extending from the country of Glarus into Graubünden and neighbouring mountain districts. Their highest summit is Piz Russein in the Tödi massif, on the boundary between Glarus and Graubünden. The range is bounded by the Uri and Schwyz Alps to the west and the Lepontine Alps to the south. Its high ridges and snow-covered peaks rise above the valleys of the Linth and the upper Rhine.
