Stanserhorn - Open Top Cable Car
Enjoy a scenic coach journey through beautiful countryside via the Albis Pass and along the shores of the Lake of the Four Cantons to Lucerne.

Enjoy the following leisure time to stroll Lucerne's beautiful Old Town.
Continuation to Stans where you board the vintage funicular train for an unforgettable ride through blooming meadows to the valley station of the World’s first CabriO!
The latest masterpiece of Swiss engineering is a unique open-top aerial cable car taking you up to Mt. Stanserhorn (1900m).
The unimpaired view from the roofless upper deck of the gondola is truly memorable.
