    The mountain itself and the surroundings are wonderful. Unfortunately, the cable car didn't work, which meant we had to queue for over 2 hours. The extra €8 we paid per person didn't help at all and was completely unnecessary as we didn't get anything in return. First everyone was taken up by bus, then only the cable car ran. At the top we would have had to pay again to get further. None of this was clear when we booked. We didn't even see the information stand. Too bad about the €32 we paid too much. A cable car ticket alone would have been enough.
