The journey to the top starts in Stans town at the original 1893 bottom station (elevation), close to Stans railway station on the Luzern-Engelberg line. The journey, on the original wooden funicular wagons, takes 9minutes to the Kälti intermediate station (altitude). From here the "CabriO" cable car takes 6minutes to the summit station (altitude). The cable car closely follows the route of the original second and third stage funiculars, and the remains of the track and the Bluematt station can still be seen.
