Don't Miss the Stanserhorn - I think this was the best thing I did in all of Switzerland. I was there for 10 days and went to 12 cities. You take an open air cable way called the Cabrio to the top.

Great trip - The first part of the ascent of the Stanserhorn is by funicular and it is possible to travel in the very front or rear compartment where you get the most wonderful views. Then you transfer on to the unique "cabrio" cable car, where you can stand on the upper outside deck, where you really feel at one with the elements as you gently ascend to the top of the mountain. Once at the top there are the most amazing views of Lake Luzern and the nearby mountain ranges. Of course there is the risk that you ascend into the cloud in which case you can't see a thing! If you like walking there are also loads of walks in the area. whilst at the top there is a lovely cafe and restaurant. Best of all if you have a Swiss Pass then the journey is free.

Breathtaking 360 degrees of views - Mount Stanserhorn was beautiful and a must-see if you are in Luzerne. You ride in a small train on the gentle part of the accent. You are surrounded by farm houses, cows and open pastures. At a higher elevation, you switch to a gondola where you can stand outside in the open air or sit inside the glass enclosed area. Once we reached the top, we surrounded by clouds and the visibility was zero. After 15 minutes, the clouds began to break revealing an amazing view on all sides - countryside with farms, lake views etc. Snow was still on the ground and we had a great time with snowball fights!! There is only a small gift shop and a restaurant at the top. The restaurant was pricey, but very good. There is a trail for hiking. When I come back to Luzern, I would like to hike this mountain!
