Per one customer who booked the CabriO World's First Open Top Cable Car Ticket to Mt Stanserhorn, "What a fun experience. It seems not to be on all the major tour lines' itinerary, so the experience has a more chill and relaxing vibe. My wife and I enjoyed the ride, with a viewing platform on top of the gondola all the way to the top! On top, there is a restaurant, a gift shop, and hiking trails. Highly recommend doing this experience if you're in the area for a couple of days."
