Up the Stanserhorn, just like in 1893
Location
Stansstaderstrasse 19
6370 Stans
Description
The Stanserhorn - Bahn (Railway) opened on August 23, 1893, and ran from Stans to the summit of the Stanserhorn. It was one of the earliest electrically powered funicular railways in Switzerland. Originally, it served as an important excursion and technical railway and is an example of early industrial mountain railway development in the Alpine region.
Today, the summit is reached by a modern cable car, which replaces the historic facility.
