Stanserhorn – Vintage Funicular & CabriO Cable Car

The Stanserhorn – Vintage Funicular & CabriO Cable Car at a glance

Two lifts lead to Stans' local mountain: In the lower part, the historic funicular from 1893 takes guests from Stans to the Kälti middle station in 10 minutes. There they change to the CabriO-Bahn, the world's first aerial cableway with an open upper deck. In 7 minutes, the cable car reaches the mountain station at 1850 meters with a spectacular view.

Ride on the CabriO-Bahn (7 minutes)

At the Kälti middle station, you get into the double-decker panorama cabin and reach the open upper deck via a spiral staircase. On the way you will feel the wind and have an unobstructed view of Lake Lucerne and the Alps. The passage through the four support masts is particularly impressive.

• Good to know: It is best to book a ticket with a time slot online.
• Tip: A ride in the morning on the CabriO cable car is particularly atmospheric.

Summit circuit (30 minutes)

From the mountain station, an easy circular trail leads to the summit at 1898 metres. On the way, you will walk through a plant sanctuary with 13 species of orchids. At the marmot enclosure, you can observe the animals in their habitat. From the summit you have a fantastic view of 10 Swiss lakes and the Alps.

• Good to know: The circular trail is also suitable for families with children.
• Tip: Don't whistle in front of the marmots, otherwise they will hide.

Hike from Stans to the Stanserhorn (3–4 hours)

Several hiking trails lead from Stans to the Stanserhorn. The routes via Kalcherli or Ebnet offer views of the Engelberg Valley and Lake Lucerne. At the summit you can fortify yourself in the revolving restaurant and then take the CabriO train back to Stans.

• Good to know: Surefootedness, hiking boots and weatherproof clothing are necessary.
• Tip: At Alp Bluematt you can get on the CabriO cable car on request.
