Visitor tips

  1. 1

    Allow about 90 minutes for the core visit and add margin for parking, queues, guided-tour timing or mountain conditions.

  2. 2

    Check same-week opening, booking, restoration, road closures, cable-car operation and protected-area rules.

  3. 3

    Carry suitable footwear, water and sun or rain protection; remote routes also need offline navigation and an emergency plan.

  4. 4

    Respect worship, residents, private land, wildlife, marked trails and photography restrictions.
