Review & FAQ:
Nestled between beautiful Lake Lucern and the snow-capped mountains beyond, the small town of Stans is an ideal day trip destination located just 20min from Lucerne. There are several historic sites to visit and a guided walking tour is the best way to learn all about the region – these tours are offered free in summer. Summer visitors can choose from a selection of cable railways to whisk them up to wonderful walking and hiking areas in the mountains – for a real thrill you can try the new double-decker top-less cable car which takes visitors to the top of Stanserhorn Mountain. In winter the entire area is covered in snow and you can choose between 8 winter sport and cross-country skiing areas.
