What defines riding in Nidwalden?

Nidwalden's landscape is shaped by Alpine limestone ridges and the broad Engelberg valley, giving riders varied mountain terrain within a compact canton. The Stanserhorn rises above the valley floor as one of Central Switzerland's most celebrated viewpoints. As part of Unterwalden, Nidwalden has been a founding member of the Swiss Confederation since 1291, a heritage that earns the region its proud title of Urschweiz. The mountain setting keeps riding opportunities open across all seasons.
