55.10 Elm - Pigniu, ViaSuworow

Chased by the French, Suvorov’s troops moved southwards to Elm in snowfall. The easy hike follows the Linth to Schwanden and then partly above, partly along the Sernf via Engi and Matt back to Elm.

On this long alpine route, you cross the historically significant Panixer Pass between the cantons of Glarus and Graubünden. The mountain trails have alpine character and are secured in exposed areas. You move through a mostly barren mountain landscape, surrounded by large peaks and intact alpine flora and fauna.
