For the HB9SOTA diploma, I was missing summits from Kanton Glarus. There are not many in GL that are easy enough to be activated with “basic” hiking skills, but Nüenchamm is probably one of them. There’s a chairlift from Filzbach (CHF 20.- two way), free parking available.
The lower part of the hike was quite soggy, and the whole path is quite uneven with a lot of rocks to step over. This means extra care when it’s wet! The only part that looked a bit challenging (at least from below) was a passage over the last rock face before reaching the final ascent to the summit. It turned out to be rather easy though (not exposed, large rock steps). Nice view from the summit with a lot of neighboring SOTAs in view.
