Why go

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.

What to look for

  • Cable-car ascent to summit plateau
  • High views over Cape Town

Useful to know

  • Check operating status and visibility before travelling to the lower station.
  • Allow time on the summit plateau for views over Cape Town if conditions permit.
