Excellent views and overall experience. I strongly recommend wearing polarized sunglasses to get the best view as it could be hazy when you’re there. I also highly recommend keeping an eye on your tour group because it’s a huge place and we were almost left behind. It was still an incredible experience and I recommend it to anyone!

On-time at meeting point, nice ride to mountain, Gondola ride up is the best, and the cog-wheel train ride down was cool. The best sights of the region for the peak. Would go again
