Such a fantastic way to see the mountains! The cable car was comfortable and the scenery at the top was jaw dropping. Definitely a star experience, would do again without hesitation!
Karina Goldner
The ride up is really SCENIC and quite relaxing, though it was a bit crowded when we went. Great way to see the mountains and get a quick escape into nature. Staff were friendly but could improve on organizing the lines better. Overall a solid day out with nice photo spots.
Mr. Jeffery Bartoletti PhD
Had a good time but wish the waiting time was shorter. The cable car moves smooth and the views at the top are NICE. A bit chilly up there so bring a jacket. Still worth doing even if a bit rushed. Would recommend for a half day outdoors without too much hassle.
