Guests or Spectators

Non-paying guests are not allowed to join the group No alcoholic beverages can be brought along the tour

Notes:

The time includes a return cable-car ride however in-season waits may add as much as an hour to this time - for this reason it may be better to meet the guide at the Cable Car as the guide will get to the queue early to secure a place at the front of the queue. Likewise, should the cable car be closed due to weather and a hiking approach is needed, an hour and a half could be added (and in summer an earlier start is needed to avoid the sun).
