The trail from Mettmen to Matt is 11 km long with 599 m ascent and 1379 m decent. With stunning mountain panoramas and a lovely alpine lake (Berglimattsee), this is a beautiful hike. However, the long steep descent, often on loose gravel was very tough on the knees and not my favorite to hike.

The hike up to the Legler Mountain hut (german) is 5.5 km long with 677 m of ascent that starts at the top of the Kies gondola, takes you over the Kärpfbrugg, a 50 m wide natural stone bridge, and then up to the hut.

My husband took the day off from work so we decided to head to Elm, a small resort in canton Glarus, to do some hiking and, of course to ride down the mountain on a mountain cart.
