Ostschweiz and Liechtenstein

Glarnerland

Switzerland's least-known and hardest-to-reach region is Glarnerland, centred on Canton Glarus, a tract of mountain territory featuring just a handful of widely spaced settlements and very low-key tourism. Its isolation is its main attraction: this is a place to turn your back on the crowds and head for the wilderness.
