Nidwalden

The main town of Stans is just a 25-minute drive from Lucerne. From here, the nostalgic funicular, built in 1893, and the modern CabriO cable car run up to the Stanserhorn. Across the way, the newly opened Bürgenstock Resort has been perched on the mountain of the same name since 2017. You can reach the Bürgenstock from Lucerne by boat and mountain railway or from Stans by PostBus. The Hammetschwand Lift, Europe’s highest open-air elevator, is sure to get your heart racing on the ride to the summit. The countless small cable cars in the canton of Nidwalden also offer heart-pounding experiences and add variety to your hiking or biking adventures.
