Trails along rushing rivers to idyllic mountain lakes and cascading waterfalls are something special. In the picturesque canton of Nidwalden, there’s a huge range of spectacular watery hikes just waiting to be discovered. Hiking in the Lake Lucerne region delivers impressive views of fjord-like stretches between mighty mountains.

In this Collection, you’ll find something for everyone, from challenging mountain journeys to more relaxed Tours, such as the one along the Engelberger Aa river and on the hike to the Risleten Gorge. The Nasentour and the 'From the lake to the resort' hike combine easygoing lakeside paths with ascents to fantastic viewpoints. Meanwhile, staggering panoramas await from the Zingel above Lake Alpnach. The Goldi Safari allows families to discover the mountains and involves taking five different means of transport. Finally, those seeking more challenging mountain adventures should head for the Walenpfad or the Four Lakes Hike.

Immerse yourself in the watery majesty of Nidwalden and treat yourself to glorious adventures.
