The 1,897 m high Stanserhorn is a fantastic vantage point, easily accessible from Stans by historic funicular and the world's only CabriObahn. A roughly half-hour circular walk around and up to the summit offers magnificent views in all directions, including the communities on Lake Lucerne, the Engelberg Valley, and the Sarner Aa Valley, as well as the glaciated peaks of the Bernese Oberland (Eiger, Mönch, and the Wetterhorn Group to the south) and the Uri Alps (Titlis, Walenstöcke, and Ruchstock to the southeast). A restaurant with a large terrace invites you to linger and enjoy food and refreshments. The marmot enclosure and the steel viewing platform are sure to be of interest to children. The descents south to Wiesenberg and across the alpine pastures from Treichi to Wirzweli are particularly worthwhile in early summer. Then, in addition to the mountain panoramas, the blossoming alpine flora is captivating. The direct northward descent via Chälti, as well as the Kammweg and Blättli trails to Stans, is also very attractive despite its length, offering repeated magnificent views of Lake Lucerne, Mount Pilatus, Mount Bürgenstock, and Mount Rigi. Important: For the descent, you should purchase a boarding pass for a fixed travel time online in advance immediately after arriving on the CabriObahn, or if you chose to ascend on foot, to avoid long waits.

The Käserstatt mountain station at 1,840 m above sea level in the middle of the mountain panorama of the Haslital. The mountain restaurant is located right next to the 6-seater Wasserwendi gondola and is an ideal starting point for hikes and winter sports activities. Here you can enjoy regional specialties on the sun terrace of the fairly new mountain restaurant. We are here in winter. Käserstatt can also be reached by a longer hike from Wasserwendi or Hohfluh on foot via winter hiking trails. It serves as a hub for various ski slopes.

Once you have reached the Jochpass, you have first completed the steep climb from the Trüebsee. In the Berghuis you can refresh yourself on the sun terrace and enjoy the view down to the lake... If you are hiking for several days, you can also spend the night up here.
