HIKE DETAILS:

Start at Näfels in Kanton Glarus. You can of course drive up on the narrow mountain road to the lake and park in the parking lot (limited space) but Ihighly recommend taking the forest hike up to the lake. It is magical with views of the Glarus valley.

Once you reached Obersee you can hike around which is a must! Get your camera ready you won't be able to stop taking pictures.

The hike from Näfels to Obersee is 4 km long with 525 meter of elevation gains. The walk around the lake is 3 km long with only 32 km of elevation gains.

TIP: if you feeling adventurous there is the Ahornen-Rundweg trail starts from Obersee which is 11 km long with 660 meters of elevation. Great views. Highly recommend.
