S is for Stanserhorn




Stanserhorn, Switzerland.  Before I got there I had never even heard of it.  But while everyone else in Lucerne was heading to more popular peaks, I was heading up the mountains in a CabriO car.  Unable to take  a picture of the car, whilst in the car, I had to take one of the brochure.  But first we boarded a funicular (above) to take us the the transfer station.



The following photos of the trip up the mountain and the gorgeous views are all self-explanatory. Going up. Enjoy the ride.



On terra firma.



Looking down at the plaza.


Off hiking the mountain to visit Heidi.


Tip:  DO NOT take the 2 minute trip.  It is nearly straight up.  Of course, like an idiot, that is exactly what I did and then took the 20 minute walk down hill.

After the hike a reward was in order:


Beautiful even in black and white:
