Visitor tips

1. 1

   Allow about 90 minutes for the core visit and add margin for parking, queues, guided-tour timing or mountain conditions.

2. 2

   Check same-week opening, booking, restoration, road closures, cable-car operation and protected-area rules.

3. 3

   Carry suitable footwear, water and sun or rain protection; remote routes also need offline navigation and an emergency plan.

4. 4

   Respect worship, residents, private land, wildlife, marked trails and photography restrictions.
