BADI YGRUBEN GLARUS
Ort: Ygrubenstrasse 12F, 8750 Glarus
Nebst dem Schwimmbad Obersee unser zweiter Badi-Favorit. Das Schwimmbad Ygruben Glarus gibt es bereits seit 1922. Es liegt “urban” ganz nah beim Zentrum von Glarus und ist ein kleines architektonisches Badi-Juwel wie wir finden. Glarus wollte die Badi schliessen und der Verein Pro-Badi-Glarus setzt sich seit 2025 für die Rettung der Badi ein. Der Verein sichert eine geöffnete Badi, hegt und pflegt das Schwimmbad und betreibt auf freiwilliger Basis den Badi-Kiosk mit charmantem Speis und Trank.
Die Badi ist auf jeden Fall einen Besuch wert und kann gut mit einem Besuch des Glarner-Kunsthauses oder einem Drink in der Rollbar kombiniert werden ;)

SKILIFT SCHILT
Location : Untere Fronalp 2, 8753 Mollis
In Glarnerland, you can ski endlessly and let off steam in a different ski area every day. You can either travel a few minutes or head straight from the studio to the Schilt ski lift. This small and ecological ski area at the foot of the Fronalpstock has just two T-bar lifts, but still offers varied pistes, powder snow and opportunities for ski tours, and snowboarders will also find their "snow happiness" here. If you are lucky, you can ski almost to the studio door if there is enough snow. There is a ski bus from the village or you can travel here in your own car (snow chains recommended), parking spaces are available.

Our favorite swimming pool and, in our opinion, a very special one is the Obersee swimming pool at over 1000 m above sea level, including a staffed kiosk at the weekend.

Ganz in der Nähe gibt es auch noch ein wunderhübsches Hoflädeli zum ein bisschen schneuggen. Die Fahrt mit dem Schiff nach Betlis ist ein Muss und gehört natürlich zum Erlebnis dazu, ebenso der kurze Marsch bis zum Paradlisli (nicht zu verwechseln mit der Burg Strahlegg, wo die meisten abbiegen werden).
