The Glärnisch is a glaciated massif (also called the Glärnisch Group) southwest of Glarus (Switzerland) that belongs to the Schwyz Alps. Since it is located entirely in the canton of Glarus, it is often said (also by the SAC) that it is in the Glarner Alps. The Glärnisch consists of two main ridges, which are arranged in a V-shape and enclose the Glärnischfirn, which flows west-southwest. The ridge running west to the right of the Glärnischfirn carries the Ruchen (2901 m above sea level). M.) and is limited in the north by the Klöntal with the Klöntalersee. The ridge running southwest to the left is slightly higher and carries the Bächistock (2915 m above sea level). M.) and north-east of it the nameless point (2910 m above sea level) which until 1960 was regarded as the highest point of the Glärnisch. M.) above the retreating Bächistock firn and a point 2914 marked with a cross and higher than the Bächstock on the national map until 2013 (until 2013: "2915", while the Bächistock was marked at 2914.3 meters). The meeting point of the ridges (so-called Schwander Grat) does not represent a separate summit for most mountaineers, although as a double summit it achieves an independence of 60 to 80 meters. The Schwander Grat is climbed as access to the most climbed summit, the Vrenelisgärtli (2904 m above sea level), which lies in front of it to the north-east towards Glarus. M., with a distinctive, previously permanent firn field visible from the Unterland). Below the almost horizontal connecting ridge between Bächistock and Vrenelisgärtli (WS), which can be walked without major difficulties, there are also several firn fields on the south-east face, including the Bächifirn and the Guppenfirn, which run across the entire flank in bands and are close to the Glärnisch from the east give it a characteristic appearance, in front of the Guppenfirn you will find the summit of the Nidfurner Turm. On the south-east slope of the mountain range there are two basins of the Oberblegisee (1422 m above sea level). M.) and the Guppensee (1515 m above sea level). M.), both without above-ground drain. The Glärnisch also falls north into the Klöntal with z. T. very steep cliffs. The Glärnisch in a broader sense also includes the Vorderglärnisch (2327 m above sea level). M., north-east of the Vrenelisgärtli), which rises directly above the cantonal capital of Glarus, and the wheel (2661 m above sea level). M.), which provides the connection to Bös Fulen to the south-west.
