What to see
The principal attractions are close to the top station, so the panorama is accessible without a major hike. Individual facilities depend on weather, snow and maintenance.
Planning
Check the operating season and reserve ascent and descent. Allow time for the toll road and busy parking days.
Clothing and altitude
The summit can be cold, windy and slippery even in summer. Bring closed footwear, warm layers and sun protection, and slow down if altitude affects you.
