The Clariden is a mountain in the Glarus Alps, located at an elevation of 3,267 m (10,719 ft) between the Swiss cantons of Uri and Glarus. While on the north the Clariden overlooks the 1,948 m (6,391 ft) high Klausen Pass, the south side is covered by large glaciers. The Hüfi Glacier on the west is drained by the Chärstelenbach stream, a tributary of the Reuss river that eventually flows into Lake Lucerne. The Clariden Glacier on the east is drained by the Linth river that eventually flows into Lake Zürich.[3]
The mountain lies in the municipalities of Silenen and Spiringen, in the canton of Schwyz, and Glarus Süd, in the canton of Glarus. The nearest settlements are the villages of Unterschächen to the north-west, and Lintha to the north-east, which lie at each end of the Klausen Pass.[3]
