Sportbahnen Elm
Sportbahnen Elm operates the Elm ski area in the Glarus Alps in Switzerland. The area offers over 40 kilometres of pistes up to 2,105 m above sea level, a gondola from Elm to Ämpächli, chairlifts and ski lifts, and a four-kilometre snow-covered sledging run. In summer, the mountain world at Ämpächli is accessible with the Riesenwald, a children's paradise, a mountain cart and scooter track, and hiking trails.

The Kinderarena Ämpächli offers three magic carpets and a practice lift for children's first attempts at skiing or snowboarding. The Kinderparadies Ämpächli next to the Bergrestaurant includes giant trampolines, a zipline, a giant swing, a petting zoo, a gold mine, a treehouse and an indoor play area, all free to use. The Riesenwald adventure trail with 17 stations is suitable for prams.
