Jürg Balsiger, Director of the Stanserhorn Railway Company, says: 'the Stanserhorn has always been an unforgettable Alpine experience – our vision is to make it even more memorable, this we are doing with the inauguration of new Cabrio aerial cable way. Swiss state-of-the-art innovation has created a spectacular but safe new dimension in Alpine travel,' that may well be so, but with my fear of heights I will not be traveling on it any time soon! even if I was a holder of a Swiss Pass, they benefit from special fares on the Stanserhorn, paying only half the normal price.
