Built around an agricultural settlement on the Plateau de Diesse below Chasseral, Nods grew into a small municipality in the French-speaking part of the canton of Bern. It lies in open Jura country between Chasseral, at 1,607 metres the highest summit of the Swiss Jura, and Lake Biel to the southeast. Pastures and fields meet wooded slopes here, giving the village a distinctly rural setting rather than an urban Bernese character. Nods is within Parc régional Chasseral, a cross-cantonal landscape shaped by farming, forests and Jura ridges. French is the local language, reflecting the cultural geography of the Bernese Jura.
