Start: Stans
Destination: Stanserhorn

From the village center of Stans, you hike along the route of the vintage funicular from 1893, through idyllic neighborhood streets past the "Maria zum Schnee" chapel to the Kälti middle station. From there, take the forest road to Alp Kalcherli and then on to the Ahornhütte, an idyllic spot to stop for a moment and grab something from your rucksack. Then continue to Alp Blatti - the outermost point of the Stanserhorn. Treat yourself to a sunbath at Blatti or linger afterwards on the Rinderalp and watch the paragliders take off. On the way to the summit, you may even see deltas flying away.
