Quick answer: The visit begins with the cable car to the hilltop estate. Official information says cavern tours at the top do not need a separate booking. Exhibitions, viewpoints and hilltop walking form the wider visit; check the current ticket page for seasonal inclusions and events.
How the visit starts
The cable car is the main entrance experience rather than a separate optional ride. Official guidance says each cabin carries up to six people and the journey takes about seven minutes. You then explore the hilltop attractions before returning by cable car.
Cavern tours
The official ticket information says the cavern tours are at the top and do not require a separate reservation. Places and operating conditions can still be affected by capacity or safety, so ask staff when you arrive rather than leaving the tour until the final minutes.
How long to allow
Allow at least several hours if you want a cavern tour, viewpoints, exhibitions, food and unhurried walking. Weather changes the experience because so much of the appeal is outdoors. Check the day’s opening and final descent information before setting off.
Our experience
The cable car made the arrival feel special and the views gave the visit more than a single attraction. We would treat it as a substantial half-day or more, not a quick cable-car photo.
