Belle Époque – Afternoon Tea on the Stanserhorn
Overview
Intro
Enjoy a nostalgic Sunday on the Stanserhorn and relive the Belle Époque over afternoon tea.
Step back in time to the Belle Époque and enjoy a nostalgic Sunday on the Stanserhorn on November 1. Stories from the early days of the Stanserhorn Railway, musical entertainment, and a stylish afternoon tea will bring to life the era in which the Stanserhorn Railway first began.
