Stanserhorn

Mountain summits
The exciting rides on the funicular railway dating back to 1893 and the world's only CabriO aerial cableway up the Stanserhorn are like a journey through cableway history.
100 kilometres of the Alps, 10 Swiss lakes, the Stanserhorn Ranger, Murmeli, a plant conservation area with enchanting flora and fauna, culinary highlights in the Stanserhorn revolving restaurant, speciality Älplermagronen pasta from the Edelweis pot and much more can be discovered on the Stanserhorn. 1900 metres above everyday life - recommended by leading lazy people.

CabriO

The double-decker aerial tramway with an open upper deck was inaugurated in 2012. The lift has suspension and traction cables on both sides of the cabins. And the floor area is equipped with stabilisers to compensate for the swinging - an innovation. This is the reason why you have the feeling of floating. On the upper deck, you get that "cabriolet feeling" when the wind blows through your hair. The CabriO cable car is unique in the world.

Hiking

A selection of different hiking trails is available for more active guests. The well-marked trails offer something for every level of difficulty - from the 30-minute summit circuit to the 4-hour hike from Stans to the Stanserhorn.

Stanserhorn Ranger

A ranger is out and about between the revolving restaurant and the summit every day from 10 am to 4 pm. He will be happy to show you where the eagle circles, where the most beautiful flowers grow or tell you an anecdote from the lively history of the Stanserhorn.
