      (Don't miss the chance to join an optional excursion for a panoramic ride to ascend one of Switzerland's famous mountains. (B))
      I don't know where i can find more information?

    • CosmosOperatorWritten January 2026

      Please see description for the Ascent up Mount Stanserhorn optional excursion.

      "Climb towering Mount Stanserhorn aboard the world's first double-decker, open-top aerial cable car! From Lucerne, travel south to Stans at the base of 6,227-foot (1,898-meter) Mount Stanserhorn. Here, hop aboard a traditional funicular with its romantic, century-old carriages, and ride through flowering meadows and sweeping valleys. Then, get ready for the highlight of your day: a ride on the unforgettable CabriO®, which lets you climb up onto the upper sun deck for unimpeded 360-degree views. At the summit, marvel at the mind-numbing panoramas of the surrounding lakes, mountains, and towns—and enjoy free time to do as you please. You might like to hike on some of the serene nature trails or maybe dine in the mountaintop's fantastic rotating restaurant."
