The Ächerli Pass is a small connecting pass at 1458m between the two half-cantons of Nidwalden and Obwalden and leads from Dallenwil to Sand near Kerns. This pass has historical significance. When Napoleon invaded Switzerland in 1798, he was stopped at the Stanserhorn massif and was unable to cross over to Nidwalden. When the revolutionary army captured some Alpine farmers, they betrayed the crossing to Nidwalden via Ächerli to Napoleon.
If visibility is good and the conditions are right, the Pilatus, the Rigi, the Stanserhorn, the Buochserhorn and the snow-covered Titlis can be seen from here.
