It borders the cantons of Obwalden (west), Lucerne and Schwyz (north), Uri (east), and Bern (south).
The landscape consists of mountains (including the Pilatus Massif and the Titlis region), lakes, and valleys – ideal for tourism, hiking, winter sports, and nature.
Economy and life: It is a rural region with a high quality of life.
The economy relies on tourism, light industry, and services.
Many residents work in the surrounding regions, but Nidwalden also attracts visitors for peaceful mountain holidays.
