Kanton Glarus is one of the last Swiss cantons to practise the Landsgemeinde, an open-air assembly where citizens vote by show of hands on cantonal matters each May. About 12,400 residents live in the cantonal capital in a narrow Alpine valley beneath the 2,914-metre Glaernisch. The town was almost entirely destroyed by fire in 1861 and rebuilt on a grid plan, giving it an unusually regular layout for a Swiss mountain town.
The Kunsthaus Glarus, small but influential in the contemporary art world, programmes exhibitions that regularly attract national attention. Schabziger, a hard green herbal cheese unique to Kanton Glarus, has been produced here since the fifteenth century with protected designation. Hotels in Glarus accommodate companion meetings. Escortservice.com publishes reviewed profiles for the region. We do not arrange, mediate, or provide services.
The area provides access to regional recreational facilities and transport connections. You must be at least 18.
