Mollis Airfield lies in the Glarus Alps of eastern Switzerland, a former military airfield now operated for civil use by Mollis Airport AG on behalf of the municipality of Glarus North. Set at a field elevation of 1467 ft amid steep alpine terrain, it offers a single hard-surfaced runway and presents a striking but demanding VFR destination for pilots comfortable with mountain flying.

Once a military airfield, it is now run as a civil aerodrome by Mollis Airport AG, a company formed in 2008 on behalf of the municipality of Glarus North. Its alpine setting, long hard runway and mixed history make it a distinctive stop for visiting VFR pilots.
