A wonderful combination of an old vintage funicular train which dates back to 1893 and the world's first and still only CabriO cable car. A splendid view onto a chain of 100 kilometers of the Swiss Alps and 10 Swiss lakes. Charming Rangers are leading the way around the summit trail. Culinary delights you will experience in the revolving restaurant. We recommend to buy a boarding pass (time reservation) in addition to the ticket. The ticket must be exchanged at the counter at the valley-station in Stans.

Wow!
What a great experience. The views from the cable car are spectacular, even if you don't go up to the top of the cable car, it still gives you great views of the valley and the lake. Once up on the mountain, it is like a different world. Listening to the cowbells in the distance is a great experience. The trails are relatively easy and offer a variety of views as well. The restaurant at the top is a nice place for grab a bite to eat. Hopefully, you'll have enough time to enjoy the scenery, enjoy the cow bells and relax on the top of the mountain.

A fantastic hotel
A great hotel one of the best I have ever been to

Amazing
Amazing out of this world and to sit at the restaurant at the top for lunch just blew my mind. Well worth the trip. Gettin to ride on top of the cabriolet was awesome, even with my fear of heights
via Viator
Warm and welcoming staff - exceptional view.
Read the worst reviews (which isn't always a good idea - as someone with 48 years in retail I know there's a small proportion of people who are IMPOSSIBLE to please...) and couldn't disagree more. The staff were warm, welcoming and helpful - without exception. The views are outstanding, the open top cable car gives a fantastic view, and everything is well signposted. 90 - 120 minutes is ample time to have s good look around - leave more time if you want to stay for a meal. A simple 20 minute train ride from Lucerne, we highly recommend this trip.

Stanserhorn CabriO-Bahn is a unique experience
Pay less if Purchase tickets directly from the ticket booth. The Viator package was very expensive for what you got, which was basically the lift ticket. We had to get ourselves there by train. There was no organized presentation by a ranger. You could ask questions if you happen to run into him. That being said, it was an absolutely beautiful ride to the top, with the open air deck offering a unique perspective. Views from the top were beautiful. There were walking trails you could follow with benches along the way where you could just sit and enjoy the views of the farms and villages below and listen to the cow bells. You can see the snow capped mountains, the air smelled so fresh. The restaurant offered good food and refreshments Which you could enjoy either inside or outside on their large decks. Bathroom facilities were clean and well maintained.

CabriO World's first Open Top Cable Car Ticket to Mt Stanserhorn: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lucerne.
How much does CabriO World's first Open Top Cable Car Ticket to Mt Stanserhorn cost?
+
Prices start at $102 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Lucerne usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does CabriO World's first Open Top Cable Car Ticket to Mt Stanserhorn take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Lucerne is not rushed.
Is CabriO World's first Open Top Cable Car Ticket to Mt Stanserhorn worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 90 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Lucerne, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule CabriO World's first Open Top Cable Car Ticket to Mt Stanserhorn?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is CabriO World's first Open Top Cable Car Ticket to Mt Stanserhorn suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book CabriO World's first Open Top Cable Car Ticket to Mt Stanserhorn?
+
Around 31 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Lucerne can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Lucerne and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does CabriO World's first Open Top Cable Car Ticket to Mt Stanserhorn start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Lucerne within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Lucerne?
+
On Outty we rank every Lucerne experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Jungfraujoch Top of Europe Day Trip from Lucerne, Lucerne Walking & Boat Tour: The Best Swiss Experience, Lucerne's Hidden Secrets by Electric Cargo Bike (small groups). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Lucerne?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Lucerne?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
