The aerial cableway carries visitors to Table Mountain’s summit plateau for views over Cape Town. Visibility and operating status can determine whether the trip to the lower station is worthwhile.

Keep exploring South Africa with our travel partners.
The cableway reaches Table Mountain’s summit plateau without a full hike and opens a high view over Cape Town. Check visibility and operating status before heading to the lower station. For visitors who do not plan a full summit hike, the ascent provides direct access to the plateau and its changing city panorama.
