Visitor tips

Allow about 75 minutes for the core visit and add margin for parking, queues, guided-tour timing or mountain conditions.

Check same-week opening, booking, restoration, road closures, cable-car operation and protected-area rules.
- 3
Carry suitable footwear, water and sun or rain protection; remote routes also need offline navigation and an emergency plan.
