Swiss Activities Tip
The Stanserhorn offers a very scenic summit walk. It takes about 30 minutes, and along the way you will encounter a marmot enclosure. The trail begins at the mountain restaurant and initially leads to the Adlerfluh. From here, you have a great view far into the Obwalden region and towards the Brünig. During the walk, you will quickly meet rangers. They can explain nature or identify the names of the surrounding mountains if you wish. The path gradually ascends to the summit, which offers an incredible view. You can see up to 100 km of the Alpine range and ten lakes.
The Stanserhorn is also very popular as a starting point for kite and paragliding pilots. Since the 1970s, the Deltaclub Stans has been active here.

The experience was fantastic. The ride in both the train and the cable car was great and the walk at the top was really great. Highly recommend.
