Discover the beauty of Central Switzerland on this half-day small group tour to the iconic Stanserhorn, traveling through charming landscapes and authentic Swiss towns.

The journey starts with the travel to Stans, the historic capital of the canton of Nidwalden.

From Stans, you’ll ascend the Stanserhorn using the world-famous CabriO cable car – the first open-air cable car of its kind. Ride on the roof deck for unobstructed 360° views as you glide above meadows, forests, and dramatic mountain terrain.

At the summit, take time to soak in breathtaking panoramic views over ten lakes and countless Alpine peaks. Enjoy a short walk along the panoramic trail, relax on the sun terrace, or simply breathe in the fresh mountain air.

After the summit experience, the tour returns comfortably to Lucerne, making this the perfect small group excursion for travelers seeking a scenic, authentic Swiss mountain experience within a half day.

  • Don't let the weather stop you- you should experience this cable car

    Though the weather wasn't perfect, it was still a great afternoon on the Stanserhorn. Sitting atop the Cabrio was a unique experience (I still don't get how something that big and heavy glides effortlessly to the peak); and our guide, Uli, was simply fantastic- simply a wealth of information on the Stanserhorn itself as well as the surrounding area. A must-do!

    Our guide, Michael was great! The cable car ride was amazing. Unfortunately the weather was stormy so we didn’t see much. Suggest checking out the weather and canceling before 24 hours of the tour, unless you are ok with not seeing much. We actually had a blast! A hike in the rain, the eeriness of the clouds we were in and warm tea afterwards.

    fantastic half-day tour to pass the afternoon in Luzern. tourguide took us on a short train ride to a village where we got on the cable car. as there were not many people, the ride up by cablecar was really a great adventure. after walking around on top and enjoying the panorama, we started the return. tourguide did a great job for this short tour.

  • relaxing afternoon

    The afternoon tour to Stanserhorn was absolutely stunning. The ride up with the open-air cable car was a highlight in itself, offering breathtaking views all the way. At the top, we had plenty of time to soak in the scenery, take photos, and enjoy a peaceful atmosphere above the clouds. Our guide was friendly and informative, making the whole experience feel personal and relaxed. A perfect way to spend the afternoon – highly recommended!

  • View from the roof of the gondola

    First I have to note that the Stanser Hornbahn and the CabriO gondolas belong together. You have to get on one of the two gondolas to get up to the mountain station after you have taken the StanserHorn cable car. The special thing about the CabriO gondola is that you can climb to the roof of the gondola via a spiral staircase. This distinguishes the gondola lift to Stanser'Horn from other gondola lifts.

    I think this was the best thing I did in all of Switzerland. I was there for 10 days and went to 12 cities. You take an open air cable way called the Cabrio to the top.

  • Great trip

    Julie W,Oct 13, 2019

    The first part of the ascent of the Stanserhorn is by funicular and it is possible to travel in the very front or rear compartment where you get the most wonderful views. Then you transfer on to the unique "cabrio" cable car, where you can stand on the upper outside deck, where you really feel at one with the elements as you gently ascend to the top of the mountain. Once at the top there are the most amazing views of Lake Luzern and the nearby mountain ranges. Of course there is the risk that you ascend into the cloud in which case you can't see a thing! If you like walking there are also loads of walks in the area. whilst at the top there is a lovely cafe and restaurant. Best of all if you have a Swiss Pass then the journey is free.
