Take the innovative and unique CabriO cable car to the Stanserhorn and marvel at the view over Central Switzerland and Lake Lucerne.

The journey starts in Stans on the nostalgic funicular railway dating back to 1893. After a short ride, you reach the Kälti intermediate station at a leisurely pace, travelling on flat terrain along fields and through the forest. There, you change to the ultra-modern railway - the world's first cabriolet.

The double-decker aerial tramway with an open upper deck was inaugurated in 2012. The railway has suspension and traction cables on both sides of the cabins. And the floor area is equipped with stabilisers to compensate for the swinging - an innovation. This is the reason why guests have the feeling of floating. On the upper deck, you get that "convertible feeling" when the wind blows through your hair.

Your event on the Stanserhorn

Would you like to go on a special excursion together or have a mountain exclusively to yourself in the evening? The team at the revolving restaurant Rondorama® will be happy to organise this for you.

Discover the plant reserve and the place of power on the summit on a guided ranger tour with your group. The Stanserhorn ranger will be happy to tell you more. One female ranger and 16 male rangers are working as volunteers on the Stanserhorn. This means you can enjoy the guided tour free of charge - enriched with lots of valuable information.
