We would be happy to answer your questions! Some questions arise more often, which is why you will find answers to some of the classic questions below. Please do not hesitate to contact us by telephone, e-mail or contact form.
The first ascent is at 8.15 a.m.
Every 30 minutes. Ascents from Stans on the hour and the half hour.
Descents from Stanserhorn at quarter past and quarter to the hour. On busy days we work non-stop, with trips every 10 minutes.
Both the ascent and descent take 25 minutes. (funicular railway and CabriO cableway included)
Your journey through the history of mountain railways begins in Stans at our historic valley station. First you travel for about 10 minutes in our nostalgic funicular railway, after which you change at the Kälti middle station to the world's first CabriO railway and thus travel for another 10 minutes to the very top of the Stanserhorn.
At 5:15 p.m. On days with public evening trips, the last descent is at 11 p.m.
On busy days (beautiful weather, weekends, holidays, public holidays) we recommend purchasing a boarding pass. The boarding pass can be booked until 9 a.m. on the day of the excursion. You are welcome to do this here.
Yes, you can. However, you may have to wait at the valley station if you don't have a boarding pass.
It is possible to book online boarding passes or online tickets for the same day until 9.00 a.m. in the morning. After 9.00 a.m. you are welcome to come to us without an online boarding pass. We will transport you up to Mount Stanserhorn on the next cable car ride with free seats. You can purchase cable car tickets directly at the ticket office at our valley station.
An online boarding pass costs CHF 2.00.
If you purchase your ticket in advance via our online shop, the boarding pass is included free of charge.
A place on the upper deck cannot be reserved. After transferring to the CabriO-cable car, all guests may decide individually whether they would like to travel on the open upper deck or the closed lower deck. There are often guests who already know the CabriO-cable car and therefore give way to other guests to ride on the upper deck. So you should certainly be able to ride on the open upper deck on either the ascent or the descent.
Boarding passes for the descent are only available on the mountain on busy days. During the ascent, the guest guide will let you know whether boarding is taking place for the descent on the day of your excursion. In the case of descent boarding, you can reserve seats for your descent at your desired time as soon as you arrive on the mountain.
