Ernen is always worth a visit. A beautiful little Valais village with old, narrow streets. Especially recommended during the music festivals in August. There are wonderful concerts in the small church.

Appoint
Ernen is a Valais mountain village of great cultural and historical importance. It is conveniently located between the Albrun, Griess, Furka and Grimsel passes and has benefited from this location for centuries as a transport hub. The construction of a modern road and the railway line on the other side of the Rhone valley put the town on the sidelines in terms of traffic and led to an economic decline.
Examples of the former wealth of the community are striking buildings such as the town hall (1762), the Tellenhaus (1578) (municipal administration), the Kapuzinerhaus (1511), the schoolhouse (1538), the Mathäus-Schiner-Haus (1603), the St. Georg House (1629), the Sigristen-Jost House (1580) (museum). The baroque church and various chapels are significant in terms of art history: the chapel of St. Anthony of Padua (1684) in Niederernen, the Maria Hilf chapel in the Ernerwald (1690-1709), the Tellenhaus shows the oldest Tell frescoes in Switzerland. Cardinal Matthäus Schinner (1465-1522) was born in the Mühlebach district. He was a bishop, cardinal, papabile and prince of the church.
