The
Emmental Alps are a mountain range in the western part of the
Alps, in
Switzerland. They are located north-west of the
Brünig Pass, mainly in the cantons of
Lucerne,
Bern, and
Obwalden, with a small portion in the canton of
Nidwalden. The highest summit of the range is the
Brienzer Rothorn, which is also the highest point in the canton of Lucerne. The range is named after the
Emme valley (German:
Emmental). In the north-west corner one finds the relatively low, but widespread, and very furrowed
Napf.
