The Bifertenstock is a mountain in the Glarus Alps, located between the cantons of Glarus (north) and Graubünden (south). It overlooks four valleys: the Biferten Glacier valley on the north-west, the Limmern Glacier on the north-east, the Val Punteglias on the south-west and the Val Frisal on the south-east. Glaciers cover both sides of the mountain but are smaller on the southern side.
