Perfect day in Switzerland

SusanF977, 10-11-2022

Optional trip to Stanserhorn was terrific. We were with Ama waterways and everything they did was nearly perfect. We were picked up at our hotel, taken to the foot of the mountain. We had a great guide named Heidi who prepared us for the entire day. Weather can make or break a vacation, as anyone reading this would know. We were blessed to get a picture perfect day. I was dubious but managed to go to the upper level of the ultra-modern cable car, no roof, no seats second level. That was a feat. But the reward was the panoramic views at the top of Stanserhorn! We could see lakes and valleys and manicured farms, plus herds of cows with their cowbells, and more! My whole life I've wanted to see Switzerland (and I am 73) and it did not disappoint.

Definately doing this again

Easy trip with a great tour guide! Had everything organized for us and was the perfect amount of time to do everything we wanted to. Did the stanserhorn trip and the guide checked us in, told us what to do, and made it so incredibly easy. Super enjoyable!

A MUST DO --FANTASTIC

Well it was in September and the weather was perfect,stayed down stairs on trip up and on the roof on the downer very safe and great -do it-no problem ,but the view and the photos we took are the best. there is a nice clean rest area up there with great Australian coffee, Ther Lucerne area is so beautiful and any of the cable car trip on other mountains will still be fantastic , go for it .Did take a ski jacket for our 14 day trip but didn't really need it(we took to much cloth with us)

Nice tour

We enjoyed our time in Lucerne. Our guide did a great job preparing us for the free time we would enjoy and how best to use it. The Funicular-ride was comfortable, and the aerial cable car and train ride to the top was another highlight. Unfortunately, the day our our tour was very rainy and cloudy so we were not able to see the beauty below from the top of the mountain.
