The Stanserhorn, and stunning views of Switzerland
This film of Stanserhorn, shot early on a fine summer’s day before too many visitors had arrived, shows the beauty and variety of Swiss landscape. The Stanserhorn mountain in the Uri Alps in Central Switzerland is 1,898 metres high, and served by a state-of-the-art cable car, the CabriO, opened in 2012, which is the subject of much of this video.
The film starts with a ride on the 1893 funicular which has been restored and takes passengers up the first of the two original sections, a nine minute trip up to Kälti station where they transfer to the modern cable car. The CabriO is unique in having two decks – one outside on the roof of the other, so passengers who are brave enough can travel up the mountain with the wind in their hair and fresh air in their lungs! (It also allows photographers like me to film an unencumbered view of the surroundings.)
The other part of the film shows the view from the revolving restaurant’s terrace near Stanserhorn’s summit. The peaks of mounts Pilatus, Rigi and Titlis are seen opposite; down the valley are Lakes Zug and Lucerne, with their towns of the same names; and the resorts of Bürgenstock and Stans itself.

Berzona is first mentioned in 1265 as Berzona.
From the Susanna Cavigliano DiArieS
“It’s so beautiful here in summer” – say the older inhabitants of Ticino – “that at night, the stars throng together to find a spot where they can admire this paradise”. Summer is a magical season in Ticino: like a dear old friend, it arrives early and leaves late, reluctantly.
The village section of Seghelina is located directly on the main road, while the main village is above the road. During the Middle Ages it was part of the Squadra of Onsernone.
The church of S. Defendente was built in 1564 and became a parish church when it separated from Loco in 1777. The section of Seghelina has the chapels of Santa Maria (1682) and S. Maria Lauretana (1766). The political municipality was created at the same time as the Canton of Ticino in 1803.
After World War II, much of the village population emigrated and sold their properties to outsiders. Many people who bought houses in Berzona were well known personalities from the arts and culture, such as Alfred Andersch, Golo Mann and Max Frisch. Today, the village is shrinking as few jobs in farming and grazing remain and most of the working population have moved to Locarno.

Steam Whistle Train Action At ENGELBERG ( Switzerland ) LSE Luzern : Stans : Engelberg Railway
Engelberg is a resort town near LUZERN from where you get on to Mt. Titlis in the Swiss Alps. This town offers great panoramic view of the Swiss Alps. The Line from Luzern climbs a mountain with 25% steep gradient till Dec 2010. Now this has been avoided by building a tunnel and now the gradient is only 10.5%.
The Luzern–Stans–Engelberg railway line is a Swiss Meter gauge rack railway that connects Luzern, via Hergiswil and Stans, to the resort of Engelberg. The line was built by the Stansstad–Engelberg Railway which became the Luzern–Stans–Engelberg Railway (German: Luzern–Stans–Engelberg-Bahn, LSE) when the line was extended to Luzern.
Today the line is owned by the Zentralbahn railway company, which also owns the Brünig line. Trains on the Luzern–Stans–Engelberg line use Brünig line tracks to access Luzern from Hergiswil.
Trains on the Luzern–Stans–Engelberg line begin their journey at Luzern Bahnhof, one of Switzerland's principal railway stations which is shared with the standard gauge lines of the Swiss Federal Railways. Shortly after leaving that station, the line enters a tunnel (opened in 2012) which runs under Luzern's southern suburbs as far as Kriens Mattenhof station. From here the line runs to Hergiswil, where the LSE line proper diverges from the Brünig line.
