Starting from Stans, a comfortable cable car ride of just 10 minutes takes you to the intermediate station Kälti, where you then transfer to the unique open‑top CabriO cable car to ascend Mount Stanserhorn. With unobstructed views along the way, you can enjoy the breathtaking scenery of Lake Lucerne and the surrounding mountains, experiencing the visual spectacle of the Alps.
As the open‑top cable car climbs, the unobstructed panoramic view makes you feel as if you are suspended in mid‑air. The crystal‑clear blue waters of Lake Lucerne, the quaint lakeside towns, and the layered snow‑capped mountains unfold before your eyes in a picturesque display that is utterly mesmerising. Upon reaching the summit station, between April and November each year, you can also hike along the trail to the very top of Stanserhorn, immersing yourself in the beauty of nature amidst the crisp mountain air.

At the summit, there is an adorable marmot enclosure where you can observe these playful alpine creatures up close, adding a touch of delight to your journey. You can also join a professional ranger for a leisurely stroll along the summit trails, listening to fascinating insights about the mountain ecology and geology. From the viewing platform, you can take in a panoramic vista of the majestic Alps stretching over 100 kilometres, with views of up to 10 lakes — a sweeping, awe‑inspiring sight that is truly unforgettable.

For added convenience, holders of the Swiss Travel Pass and the Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) Day Pass can ride the Stanserhorn open‑top cable car for free, with no need to purchase a separate ticket — making it easy to enjoy this panoramic alpine journey. Whether you are a nature enthusiast, a photography buff, or a traveller looking to experience Alpine scenery with ease, this excursion promises an unforgettable blend of excitement and breathtaking views.
