This was our second ride on this train. decided to take a winter trip with all the snow as a backdrop with great views. Took the train from Tiefencastle to Brig via Chur. Take your camera for some great pictures. The carriages are very comfortable with plenty of space. You can walk to the restaurant car for a drink or receive table service.

The first part of the ascent of the Stanserhorn is by funicular and it is possible to travel in the very front or rear compartment where you get the most wonderful views. Then you transfer on to the unique "cabrio" cable car, where you can stand on the upper outside deck, where you really feel at one with the elements as you gently ascend to the top of the mountain. Once at the top there are the most amazing views of Lake Luzern and the nearby mountain ranges. Of course there is the risk that you ascend into the cloud in which case you can't see a thing! If you like walking there are also loads of walks in the area. whilst at the top there is a lovely cafe and restaurant. Best of all if you have a Swiss Pass then the journey is free.
