Kerns

Tucked into central Switzerland’s Sarneraatal, Kerns is a place whose character is shaped by the transition from Obwalden’s valley floor to the higher Alpine terrain. Lake Sarnen lies nearby, while the municipality extends south toward the mountain resort of Melchsee-Frutt and its lakes, Melchsee and Tannensee. Kerns belongs to Obwalden, part of the historic region of Unterwalden, one of the three forest cantons associated with the early Swiss Confederation. Farming, alpine pastures and mountain access remain central to the area’s identity. View additional webcams nearby to better understand how Kerns and Obwalden relate to the surrounding Alps.
