Reach for
Reach for the clouds on the Stanserhorn with an open-air cable ride 🌄🚠✨
Stanserhorn in Ennetmoos is where Swiss engineering meets breathtaking alpine scenery! Hop on the CabriO Stanserhorn-Bahn, a spectacular double-decker open-top cable car—the world’s first of its kind—giving you unobstructed, wind-in-your-hair views as you glide skyward.
🛤️ Route & Experience:
Start at Stansstaderstrasse 19, Stans. Board the CabriO cable car up to the summit at Stanserhorn (6372 Ennetmoos). The ride itself is the highlight: stand on the rooftop deck for Insta-worthy panorama shots—don’t miss the sweeping angles overlooking Lake Lucerne and the snow-capped Alps! At the top, wander the nature trails, spot marmots, and soak up 360° vistas. The summit restaurant is famous for its views—snap a selfie from the terrace, with the peaks as your backdrop.
🍽️ Dining & Practical Tips:
Food at the mountaintop restaurant is pricey, but if you have the Swiss Travel Pass, the whole cable car experience is FREE (so splurge on a treat if you’re hungry)! Tip: Bring your own snacks if you want to save, as menus are limited. The cable car is open daily mid-April to mid-November (generally 8:15am–5:00pm); check ahead for weather disruptions.
⚠️ Precautions:
Layer up—it’s much cooler at the summit, even in summer. Hold onto your cap and sunglasses on the open deck (the wind is epic)! Arrive early for less crowded photos and to make the most of the fresh morning light.

Exploring the Summit of Stanserhorn
I recently visited Stanserhorn, a destination near Lucerne that I highly recommend.
Upon reaching the summit of Stanserhorn, there’s one thing you absolutely must do before enjoying the scenery: choose your return ticket.
When I arrived at the summit at 1 PM, I opted for the cable car departing at 2:35 PM. An hour and a half was more than enough time to climb up to the observation deck and enjoy lunch.

🇨🇭🚠 Stanserhorn Review – Take the Open Roof Gondola
If you are looking for a viewpoint in Switzerland that is easy to climb, has amazing views and is unique — Stanserhorn is the answer! Because this is the only place in the world where you can climb the mountain with CabriO – an open-top gondola 🚡✨
📍 Location & Directions
• Located near the city of Stans in the canton of Nidwalden (only 20–25 minutes from Lucerne)
• From Lucerne: Take the train to Stans station and walk a few minutes to the gondola station
🚞 Special features of the mountain route
1. Start with a retro wooden tram (open since 1893!)
2. Continue with the double-decker CabriO gondola — the highlight is the roof deck. You can stand and enjoy the view in the air without a roof, similar to an open-top!
Let me tell you, the feeling of standing in the air, seeing the mountains, the lake and the wind blowing in your face — it's refreshing, exciting and romantic at the same time.
🌄 On the top of Stanserhorn (1,898 meters)
• Panoramic views of Lake Lucerne and the surrounding Alps
• Easy walking trails on the ridge, with plenty of photo spots
• On a clear day, you can see over 100 peaks in the distance
• There is a "Stanserhorn Ranger" on duty to provide free, friendly information, it's like having a personal guide
🥘 Food & Cafe
• The "Revolving Restaurant Rondorama" restaurant slowly rotates 360 °, enjoying the view while eating
• Serves local Swiss food such as Rösti, sausages, cheeses, as well as cakes and coffee
• Relax and enjoy the view both during the day and at sunset 🌅
🦫 Cute spots:
• There are native animals such as marmots to see up close
• Small souvenir shop with local products Cute and not common
🕐 Opening-closing time
• Opening season: Usually open around mid-April - mid-November
• The last cable car down from the top of the mountain is usually in the evening (check the time on the website before traveling)
📌 Small advice:
• It is recommended to come early to avoid crowds and get beautiful light for taking pictures.
• If you want to go up to the top of CabriO, you should hurry to queue early.
• The weather is quite colder than downstairs. You should bring a light jacket.

Lovely Lucerne
Welcome to the city of Lucern!
The old church bridge will strike u first as you walk into this town, taking in the bustling sounds and culture of this place.
See the Lions monument- a fascinating statue further down in the heart of town
Try the gelato as well and stroll through the fascinating city. Loved seeing the murals and architecture of the place
Good to see the city at night too, the lights on the bridge will light up creating a romantic ambience and a generally different feeling from the day where it was too hot

Stanserhorn’s Mystical Beauty on a Gloomy Day
#europetrip #stansehorn #switzerland
Our visit to Stanserhorn on a gloomy day turned out to be an unexpectedly serene experience. Despite the overcast skies, the view from the top was nothing short of breathtaking, with rolling hills and alpine peaks shrouded in mist, creating a dreamy atmosphere. The highlight was coming across the charming Heidi house, a nostalgic nod to Swiss heritage nestled in the mountains. Unfortunately, the iconic marmots were nowhere to be seen—perhaps the chilly weather kept them in hiding. Still, the peaceful ambiance and the stunning vistas made the trip memorable, proving that even gloomy days have their charm.
Mount Stanserhorn
#familytrips2024
Exploring Mount Stanserhorn with my family was an exhilarating adventure amidst the stunning Swiss Alps. As we ascended the mountain on the nostalgic open-air cabrio cable car, the panoramic views became increasingly breathtaking. The crisp mountain air and sweeping vistas of lush valleys and snow-capped peaks filled us with awe. Upon reaching the summit, we marveled at the 360-degree panorama from the revolving restaurant, soaking in the beauty of Lake Lucerne below and the surrounding Alpine landscape. We ventured out onto the Skywalk, a thrilling platform with transparent flooring, providing a unique perspective of the rugged terrain beneath our feet. It was a day filled with laughter, wonder, and unforgettable moments that strengthened the bonds of our family.
Dreaming of our next family expedition, we're enchanted by the rugged beauty and rich cultural heritage of Iceland. Picture us exploring dramatic landscapes dotted with cascading waterfalls, bubbling hot springs, and towering glaciers. From marveling at the dancing Northern Lights to soaking in the soothing waters of the Blue Lagoon, Iceland promises a journey of discovery and adventure for our family. Whether embarking on a thrilling glacier hike, discovering Viking history in Reykjavik, or encountering playful puffins along the rugged coastline, every moment in Iceland will be filled with wonder and excitement, creating cherished memories to last a lifetime.

Nestled amid the picturesque Swiss Alps, it became the canton's political center in the 16th century. The town's charming architecture reflects its medieval roots, with landmarks like Stanserhorn Railway offering panoramic views.
During my late autumn family trip to Stans, we reveled in the town's tranquil beauty. The crisp mountain air was invigorating as we explored quaint streets adorned with colorful foliage. Stans, with its serene Lake Lucerne backdrop, became a canvas of autumn hues. We indulged in local delicacies, savoring the unique blend of Swiss and regional cuisine.
A highlight was our visit to Stanserhorn, where a cable car ascent provided breathtaking vistas. The day concluded with a cozy evening by the lakeside, creating cherished memories in this idyllic Swiss gem. Stans epitomizes the blend of history, natural splendor, and warm hospitality that defines the Nidwalden region.
