About this property

Schweizerhaus Glarus - Historic with charm, ideal for groups and families

Welcome to your retreat in the heart of the canton of Glarus, surrounded by the breathtaking Swiss Alps. This spacious apartment, which sleeps up to 8 people, is located in a lovingly renovated house that is over 200 years old—where historic charm meets modern comfort.

The apartment spans the entire ground floor on one side and opens directly onto the private garden on the other. With three bedrooms and three bathrooms, the home offers plenty of space and privacy—ideal for families or groups. Two bathrooms (one with a walk-in shower, one with a bathtub) provide a relaxing retreat after an active day. The fully equipped kitchen, featuring an induction stove, a capsule coffee machine, and a dishwasher, makes cooking a breeze, while a traditional fireplace in the living room creates a cosy atmosphere.

Outside, the private garden is a real highlight for young and old alike. Apple trees, a swing, and trees to climb invite children to explore, while adults can spend relaxing evenings by the beautiful outdoor fireplace with a grill. Despite its location on a street, the garden offers a secluded and peaceful atmosphere, with views of the surrounding mountains and direct access to the nearby mountain forest.

For active guests, this is the ideal starting point: a covered, lockable bike storage area is available, and hiking trails begin right at the house. In winter, the ski school and cross-country ski trails are just a few kilometres away; in summer, an idyllic mountain lake nearby beckons.

Shopping options and the nearest village centre are within 1–2 km, and the city of Glarus is a short drive away. Zurich is just an hour away by car or train.

This home uniquely combines history, comfort, and nature. Spacious and family-friendly, it’s equally suited for families, groups, or active guests. Whether you’re exploring nature, gathering around the fire, or relaxing in the garden—your stay will be unforgettable and rejuvenating.

The property is spacious and comfortable with a nicely appointed kitchen. It’s located outside of the city of Glarus so it’s quiet. There’s a charming garden with apple trees. I picked apples (with permission) and made applesauce. There’s a beautiful view outside of every window. We enjoyed our stay and would stay here again.

Diese Unterkunft ist außergewöhnlich. Mit viel Liebe zum Detail ist diese Wohnung eingerichtet worden und es ist wirklich alles vorhanden was man braucht und noch vieles mehr. Der Vermieter war jederzeit erreichbar und sehr bemüht um unser Wohlbefinden. Wir sind mit 7 Personen angereist. 3 Kinder (4,11,14) und mit 4 Erwachsenen. Die Zimmeraufteilung war perfekt, jeder hatte mehr als genügend Platz und auch einen Rückzugsort. Die Küche war sehr gut ausgestattet. Der Garten lud uns zum Verweilen ein.Wir hatten einen wunderschönen Ausblick aus jedem Fenster. Die Lage war für uns ideal, da wir von Glarus aus überall in angenehmer Zeit hinreisen konnten. Die ausgelegten Informationen über den Ort und die Umgebung haben wir mit Freude angenommen. Wir empfehlen diese Unterkunft uneingeschränkt weiter und würden immer wieder herkommen. Vielen Dank für den unvergesslichen Aufenthalt!
