Insider Tips

Time Your Ticket: Your ticket is valid only for its specified period and re-entry is not allowed once you leave, so plan your full visit in one go and enter directly with your ticket.
Beat the Queue: Arrive as close to opening as your ticket allows, since lines for the ride build up quickly later in the day.
Watch for Cruise Days: The summit gets noticeably busier when a cruise ship is in port, so plan around that if you can.
Pack a Jacket: It can be windy and cool at the summit even on a sunny day, so bring warm layers.
Save Food for the Summit: Food and drinks are not allowed inside the gondola cabins, but the summit cafe has you covered once you arrive.

Rules:

Children under 15 must be accompanied by an adult.
No smoking, alcohol, or recreational drugs are permitted on-site or in gondola cabins.
Food and drinks are not allowed inside gondola cabins (but available at the summit café).
Pets are not permitted, except certified guide or service dogs.
Re-entry is not allowed after you leave the venue.
