Stanserhorn
Reach the summit by a century-old cable railway and CabriO, the world's first double-decker open-top cable car, for 360-degree views over the Lucerne region.
Stanserhorn rises to 1,898 metres. The ascent has two stages. First you take the wooden funicular, opened in 1893, to the intermediate station. Then you change to the CabriO cable car, which started running in 2012. Its upper deck is an open-air viewing platform, so you can ride up in the wind. The summit has a circular trail of about 30 minutes, a revolving restaurant, and marmots are often seen. From Lucerne it is about 15 minutes by train to Stans, then a walk to the lower station. The round trip costs about CHF 80, and holders of a Swiss Travel Pass get half price. The service does not run in winter.
