The Glärnisch is a mountain of the North-Eastern Swiss Alps, overlooking the valley of the Linth in the Swiss canton of Glarus. It consists of several summits of which the highest is 2,915 metres above sea level. The other main summits are the ''Bächistock'' (2,914 metres), followed by the ''Vrenelisgärtli''--"Verena's Little Garden"—at 2,904 metres) and the ''Ruchen'' (2,901 metres). The massif of the Glärnisch consists of two ridges of either side of the glacier named ''Glärnischfirn'', culminating at the Ruchen to the west, rising more than 2,000 metres above the Klöntalersee, and at the Bächistock to the southwest. The Vrenelisgärtli is the closest peak to Schwanden. The Glärnischfirn (also known as the Glärnischgletscher, the "Glarnisch glacier") is about one mile long and about one-half mile wide at between 1.5 and 2.0 miles above sea level. The surrounding peaks are generally accessible to hikers and climbers only by traversing the length of the glacier itself. From the Vrenelisgärtli peak, the Klontal lake may be seen directly, more than one mile below. In recent years, the glacier has lost a massive amount of its volume and its tongue has retreated sharply.〔http://www.kloental.com/Natur/Wasserspektakel/Glarnischfirn/446〕 East of the Glärnisch is located the lower Vorder Glärnisch. ==See also== * North-Eastern Swiss Alps * List of mountains of the canton of Glarus * List of most isolated mountains of Switzerland 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Glärnisch」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
