‘Juiz! My Nidwalden’ experience map

Time for moments of happiness: Discover Nidwalden and the surrounding area.

Imagine standing in a blossoming alpine meadow after a leisurely hike, surrounded by colourful flora and the sounds of nature. Before you lies an impressive mountain panorama with snow-capped peaks, whilst on the other side the view stretches far down into the valley and out to the lake. You take a deep breath of the fresh mountain air and feel full of energy and lightness – it is precisely at this moment that a feeling of pure joy arises, a spontaneous ‘Juiz’. 

The ‘Juiz – My Nidwalden’ experience map guides you to such special places and makes your break in Nidwalden unforgettable.
