Kerenzerberg Pass (el. 743 m (2,438 ft)) is a mountain pass in the Alps in the canton of Glarus, Switzerland. It connects Mollis and Mühlehorn above Lake Walen (Walensee).

The pass road was built in 1848 and has a maximum grade of 10 percent. Two tunnels have been dug under the pass, a road tunnel for the A3 motorway (Autobahn A3) and a rail tunnel for the Ziegelbrücke to Sargans railway line. The latter replaced a series of previously built railway tunnels along the lake; this old route has been converted to a bike route (National Route 9).[1]

The area is known for both summer and winter sport.
