Idyllic, the mountain village of
Idyllic, the mountain village of Ernen is located on the left side of the Goms valley, on the heights of Fiesch. This locality is part of the Binn Valley Nature Park and is also known as a music village, with its music festival welcoming artists from all over the world.
Description
For centuries, Ernen was a stopover on the road to the Furka and Grimsel Passes. With the opening in 1861 of the Furka road on the other side of the valley, the place found itself on the sidelines and hardly developed any more. The municipal authorities understood early on the value of authenticity of the village and established in 1943 the necessary protective measures to preserve the cultural value of the buildings of the former chief town of the valley.
Ernen is characterized by its sunny location on a natural terrace above the Fiesch basin. Well-maintained gardens and orchards form a semi-circular setting towards the valley. In the center of the village are close to each other typical buildings of the region, generally oriented towards the southwest. Plots and gardens reduce the density of buildings. The central square, in the heart of the village, is exceptional and is one of the most beautiful in Switzerland. It is lined with remarkable buildings, including the “Tellenhaus” (the house of William Tell), with one of the oldest representations of the Swiss national hero.
The sumptuous Sankt Georg church, built between 1510 and 1518 in a late Gothic style, is located slightly higher and, in fact, clearly visible from afar.
Ernen is known as a musical village far beyond the country's borders. Once a year, the association “Musikdorf Ernen” organizes a classical music festival.
