Looming above the lake, 1898m Stanserhorn boasts 360° vistas of Lake Lucerne, Mt Titlis, Mt Pilatus and the Bernese Alps, among others. Getting to the summit is half the fun. The journey starts with a ride on a vintage 19th-century funicular from Stans to Kälti; from here, the nearly transparent CabriO , launched in 2012 as the world's first cable car with an open upper deck, takes you the rest of the way, offering amazing on-the-go views.
On sunny days and when large numbers of travellers are expected, you'll need to book an online 'boarding pass' to confirm your time of departure and subsequent return.
At the summit there's the star-shaped Rondorama , the region’s only revolving restaurant, which rotates 360° every 43 minutes. Kids love the nearby marmot park , where the critters can be observed in a near-natural habitat.
