What you can expect

On this full-day partly guided coach tour from Zürich, you travel through gorgeous countryside and visit the charming city of Lucerne. Then, experience the world's first open-top aerial cable car as you ride to the peak of Mount Stanserhorn, where you can enjoy spectacular views of the Swiss Alps.

From Zürich, you embark on a scenic coach journey through the picturesque countryside via the Albis Pass and along the shores of the Lake of the Four Cantons to Lucerne. Take in the views during a short photo stop en route and enjoy a brief orientation drive, where your guide points out the main attractions of this charming town like the Chapel Bridge, the Town Hall, the Jesuit Church and the Culture and Congress Centre. Then, enjoy some time at leisure to explore the Old Town before continuing to Stans.

Here, you board the Vintage Funicular Train for an unforgettable ride through blooming meadows to the valley station of the world’s first Cabrio. This latest master piece of Swiss engineering, is a unique open-top aerial cable car which takes you up to Mount Stanserhorn at an elevation of 6,230 feet (1,900 m). The unimpaired view from the roofless upper deck of the gondola is truly memorable.

On the top of the mountain, a magnificent panoramic view of 10 lakes, 62 miles (100 km) of the Alpine mountain range, and 3 countries await you. Take the short hike to the peak and visit the marmot park to watch these cute animals play. Relish an authentic Swiss dish in the revolving restaurant, Rondorama.

After descending to Stans, take the public train back to Lucerne for some additional time in this lovely city. In the evening, meet again with your guide for the coach ride back to Zürich.
