GlarnerlandPass – The guest card for overnight guests in the canton of Glarus

Yes, if you want to benefit from the advantages, you must have a valid GlarnerlandPass with you. It is particularly important that you have the GlarnerlandPass with you when using public transport, be it train, bus or Braunwald funicular railway. Otherwise you risk a fine of up to CHF 100. The GlarnerlandPass is handled in the same way as a regular public transport ticket, which you must also carry and show upon request.

The GlarnerlandPass is valid either in the app or as a PDF. You can obtain the GlarnerlandPass from your accommodation. If you want to use the pass on arrival and have not yet received it via e-mail, please contact your accommodation so that they can send it to you in good time.

All guests who stay one night or more in the canton of Glarus and pay the individual guest tax will receive the GlarnerlandPass from their accommodation. If you would like the GlarnerlandPass but have not received it, please contact your accommodation.

They will then need an e-mail address from you to send you the registration form. Ideally, you should apply for the GlarnerlandPass before you arrive so that you can benefit from the very first day. Please contact your accommodation no earlier 3 days before your arrival if they do not contact you themselves.

The GlarnerlandPass for overnight guests is valid from the day of arrival to the day of departure.

Your host can send you a self-check-in link by e-mail before your arrival date so that you and any accompanying persons can make the most of the offer.

No, it's best to use the GlarnerlandPass app directly.

In most cases, you will receive the GlarnerlandPass by e-mail. You can then import it directly into the app. If you would still like to receive it as a PDF, you still have the option of printing it out or simply saving it on your mobile phone.

For GlarnerlandPass groups: These cannot be imported into the app. You can either print out the pass or use it as a PDF on your mobile phone.

There are different ways:

1. Import link in e-mail: After your registration form has been entered by your accommodation or via the self-check-in form, you will receive an e-mail with the GlarnerlandPass max. 7 days before arrival. This email contains a direct import link. If you have already registered the app, you can import the pass directly.
   
   
2. Guest profile: Have you registered yourself using the self-check-in form and used your guest profile? In this case, your GlarnerlandPasses are saved in your profile. Log in to the app and your passes will be imported automatically.
   
   
   
3. Import code on PDF: You have a PDF of the GlarnerlandPass. You will find the import code under the QR code, which you can then import directly into the Wallet in the GlarnerlandPass app.
