    Good tour top was closed beautiful biews

    The top of the mountain was closed due to some technical difficulties. We were disappointed not to experience all the items up on top. We made the best and at the halfway did a nice walk around the lake. Views were stunning. Our guide was very helpful My husband left his camera on the bus the company had it on a bus we met the next morning, very thankful

    All about the view

    Simply beautiful! Our favorite part was going up and then down the mountain looking at the stunning views. Having a glass of Prosecco at the top was frosting on the cake.

    Tourist Trap - Don’t waste your money

    Huge tourist trap. Overly commercialized and expensive for what you actually get. Especially since their best advertised attractions close at a moments notice. Cliff walk? Closed. Rotating cable car? Closed. “Glacier Cave?” man made and not worth the cost to go to the summit. Save your money and go elsewhere. Giving it one star because the views at the top are “okay.” 1/10 would not recommend.

    Great Experience

    Well worth the extra cost, but don't expect the tour guide to add much. Meeting point was confusing as it was across the street in the bus parking lot and not at the Google map location. Make sure you check ahead of time the weather and that all the activities are open the day you are going before you book. Best to pay last minute and cancel if you need to.
