Nidwalden has a single premium region: every commune pays the same rate.
The 2027 premiums are not published yet
The FOPH announces them at a press conference. The exchange with the cantons that precedes it is set for 21 September 2026 or 25 September 2026 — the Office itself writes that the final date would only be fixed in August. This page will show the real figures the same day, at the same address.
The trend from 2015 to 2026
The cheapest premium in Nidwalden moved by +65.4 % between 2015 and 2026. It is the only honest figure to set against "what will I pay next year": what the canton has taken so far, not what it will take.
The zone’s lowest premium, year by year since 2015. The same profile every time: adult, CHF 300 deductible, accident included — otherwise the comparison would mean nothing.
That is +65.4 % over 11 years, or CHF 1'829 more per year.
