A Double-Decker Cable Car

By Linda Tancs

The Cabrio Stanserhorn in Switzerland is the world’s first open-top, double-decker cable car. Your journey begins in Stans at the historic valley station where you travel for about 10 minutes via the funicular railway. Then you change at the Kälti middle station to double-decker cars for another 10 minutes to the top of the Stanserhorn. Seats on the open upper deck cannot be reserved but you have a chance on either the ascent or descent to get one. Allow at least one hour to enjoy the views from the mountaintop, where you’ll also find a revolving restaurant. The Stanserhorn season runs from April to November.
