Start: Stanserhorn mountain station
Destination: Stanserhorn mountain station

At 1,900 meters above sea level, there are various opportunities for relaxation and lounging. Enjoy the view of the Alps, admire the ten lakes, or enjoy the fascinating fauna and flora.

Only thirty minutes of walking time is to be calculated for the summit route – but that is far too little to look from the “Adlerhorst” towards Brünig, to discover the Mönch left of the Eiger, watch the marmots, and feel the 22,000 bovine units. Visiting the revolving restaurant Rondorama or the sun terrace is part of the excursion to the Stanserhorn.

The path from the mountain station to the summit of the Stanserhorn can also be explored virtually here!

Directions

After the Cabrio ride on the roof of the open-top cable car, the summit route begins right next to the sun terrace. First, walk horizontally to the first viewpoint towards Obwalden, Brünig, and the Bernese Alps. This view to the Mönch, Eiger, and Jungfrau is wonderful – yes, the order of the mountains is “reversed” from here. Then go up steps to the second viewpoint, with a view also towards Lucerne. Another ascent leads to the actual summit at 1897 m above sea level. The descent passes the marmot houses and the starting place for hang gliders.

Author´s Tip / Recommendation of the author

By far the most ordered here are the Älplermagronen, made from ingredients from the region and the Alpine area - 18,000 portions are enjoyed per season on the Stanserhorn. You can enjoy the sun on the sun terrace or on the large summit meadow.
