The tracks in view.

From the village center of Stans to the Kälti middle station, you walk along the route of the vintage funicular from 1893, through idyllic neighborhood streets past the "Maria zum Schnee" chapel. From Bluematt, watch the CabriO cabins cross each other and glide towards the summit. The direct route to the Stanserhorn winds its way steeply up the mountain. From the ridge, you can enjoy a beautiful panoramic view of the lake and mountains. Once you arrive at the revolving restaurant, you have earned a good portion of Älplermagronen!
