Gebiet Foostock und Foopass

Seldom is the Glarus main thrust so beautifully exposed and so easily recognizable as on the east and south sides of the Foostock. As a result of erosion, the Glarus main thrust on the Foo Pass has already been removed, which is why Arnold Escher left the Glarus double fold here in the middle of the 19th century. The fierce decades-long controversy surrounding the Glarus double fold led to the Foo Pass becoming a Mecca for geologists.
From the Foo Pass you have a magnificent view of the Piz Sardona, Piz Segnes and the Tschingelhörner, where the main thrust is particularly visible.
