Introduction to Wolfenschiessen, Switzerland

The municipality of Wolfenschiessen, in Switzerland's Nidwalden canton, has a handful of Wolfenschiessen hotels and heritage sites with which to draw visitors. Altzellen's St Joder Chapel and the parish church of St Maria are the key religious sites, while the grand mansions of Grossitz and Hechhuis are no less impressive. Likely dating to the 15th century, the Roman Catholic St Joder Chapel sits in a romantic mountain-top location from where breathtaking views can be enjoyed. The nearest big city is Lucerne, to the north, where tourism thrives thanks to an interesting old town, a pretty lakeshore and a vibrant annual carnival. In the opposite direction, to the south, lies Engleberg, one of the many delightful mountain villages that dot the road that connects the two locations. Tourism in the Wolfenschiessen area centres on the world-class skiing and hiking in the area, as well as the breathtaking alpine backdrops visible around every corner. The municipality lies within easy driving distance of both the 2 and 8 roadways.
