The massif of the Glärnisch consists of two ridges of either side of the firn named Glärnischfirn, culminating at the Ruchen to the west, rising more than above the Klöntalersee, and at the Bächistock to the southwest. The Vrenelisgärtli is the closest peak to Schwanden. East of the Glärnisch is located the lower Vorder Glärnisch.
