A hot summer weekend in the Swiss Alps climbing through one of Switzerland's richest geological areas in search of a camping spot.

This summer I start my great adventure across Switzerland: hiking the Via Alpina green trail. The third stage of the Via Alpina hike is a long leg from Elm to Linthal. My path takes me across Richetlipass and through Glarus's geologically rich area for scenic views.
