Obwalden the insider tip

– 27 – One of Obwalden’s key benefits in terms of holidays and leisure activities is its proximity to everything. Our half-canton has the privilege of enclosing the central point of Switzerland, i.e. of being at the very heart of the country. For you, our visitors, this can mean much reduced travel times. Getting here by train – the Zentralbahn for the last few kilometres – is straightforward, convenient and envi- ronmentally friendly. Postbuses and mountain rail- ways/cableways get you to our villages, summits and holiday enjoyment. Boats take you on exciting cruis- es, while signposts show walkers, cyclists and camp- ers where to find our tourism sites, attractions and destinations.
