We cannot boast large operas and world theaters but in summer you will meet some of the world's best classic musicians in the musical village of Ernen. Admire magnificent organs made by some of the greatest organ builders. Some 80 churches and chapels from Gothic to Baroque style feature precious art treasures. Be captivated by the architecture of the ancient wooden houses in the villages and hamlets that have preserved their traditional style. Traditions are more than mere demonstrations for tourists; they express the identity of the local population.
