Hike
From Stans über Ebent to the summit of the Stanserhorn.

From the village center of Stans, hike along the route of the vintage funicular railway from 1893, through idyllic neighborhood streets past the chapel “Maria zum Schnee” to the middle station Kälti. From there, follow the path to Ebnet to the Ahornhütte. There is a picturesque spot to pause briefly and unpack something from your backpack. Then continue to the Alp Blatti – the outermost point of the Stanserhorn. Treat yourself to some sunbathing at Blatti or then linger at the Rinderalp and watch the paragliders taking off. On the way to the summit, you may sometimes even see hang gliders flying off.
