What defines riding in Glarus?

The Linth valley rises sharply from Walensee at 414 m to the glaciated summit of Tödi at 3,612 m, packing dramatic Alpine terrain into a compact canton. The Swiss Tectonic Arena Sardona, a UNESCO World Heritage site, exposes rock formations of global geological significance. Glarus is equally remarkable for the Landsgemeinde, a centuries-old open-air assembly where citizens vote by show of hand, one of direct democracy's most immediate expressions.
