Kärpf
Location in Switzerland
The Kärpf (or Chärpf) is a mountain in the Glarus Alps, at an elevation of 2,794 m (9,167 ft). The Kärpf is the highest point of the massif lying north of Richetli Pass (2,261 m or 7,418 ft). This range separates the two main valleys of Glarus: the main Linth valley with the village of Linthal on the west and the Sernftal with the village of Elm on the east.[2]
On the north side of the Kärpf is located a small valley, which is occupied by a lake, the Garichtisee.
Administratively, the mountain lies in the municipality of Glarus Süd, in the canton of Glarus.[2]
