Ernen

Ernen lies along the upper Rhône valley in the Goms, its historic settlement occupying a sun-facing terrace above the valley floor. The village forms part of Landschaftspark Binntal, a regional nature park of alpine pastures, forests and the side valley leading towards Binn. Ernen’s compact centre preserves numerous traditional Valais timber houses, with the parish church of St. George serving as a local landmark. Music is central to its contemporary identity: the annual Festival Musikdorf Ernen brings classical performers and audiences to this small mountain community. Paths from the village lead into the wider Goms landscape, while the railway in the Rhône valley links the area with Brig and Oberwald.
