Capital of Kanton Nidwalden, one of Switzerland's smallest cantons, Stans has about 8,400 residents at the foot of the Stanserhorn. The Stanserhornbahn, combining a funicular with an open-top revolving cable car (CabriO), ascends to the 1,898-metre summit for panoramic views over ten lakes and the Bernese Alps. Niklaus von Flue, Switzerland's patron saint, is venerated at nearby Sachseln across the cantonal border, but his legacy shapes Nidwalden's identity.
The Dorfplatz, an intimate town square, hosts the Stans Music Festival each autumn. The Pilatus Aircraft factory at the military airfield in Stans produces the PC-12 and PC-24 business aircraft exported worldwide. The Buergenstock resort above the Vierwaldstaettersee, reachable from the Stans area, reopened in 2018 after a major renovation.
