Buy the right ticket combo
Confirm whether you want round-trip or one-way cable car and which shuttle bus legs you need—your driver can buy the five required tickets but verify your chosen route.
Start early to avoid queues
Cable car and shuttle bus waits vary by season; arriving before 9:00 a.m. reduces lines and midday wind exposure on ridgelines.
Bring layered windproof clothing
Summit ridge sections are exposed and can be significantly cooler and windier than the base, so pack a light shell.
Footwear and steady footing
Choose grippy, broken-in hiking shoes—stairs can be steep and slippery when wet and the route includes short, exposed sections with chains.
Sturdy hiking shoes
Provide traction on steep stone stairs and stability on exposed ridgelines.
Light windproof jacket
Protects against strong ridge winds and rapid temperature changes.
