Description
WikipediaThe Vorab is a double summit mountain of the Glarus Alps, located on the border between the cantons of Glarus (GL) and Grisons (Graubünden, GR), Switzerland. The summit (3,028 m [9,934 ft]) is also named Bündner Vorab (lit. 'League's Vorab', referring to Graubünden) to distinguish it from a lower summit (3,018 m [9,902 ft]) named Glarner Vorab (lit. 'Vorab of Glarus'). Territorially, it divides on the municipal areas of Laax (GR) on its eastern face, a narrow southern stripe within Siat (GR) and Elm (GL) on its northwestern face. The secondary peaks that belong to the massive include also the municipalities of Ruschein and Panix in Grisons.
