💡 Tips for Visitors

Purchase combination tickets for both ropeway stages at the base station for better value. Limited English signage is available, but staff are helpful and route maps have English; consider visiting on weekdays to avoid crowds, especially during peak autumn colors in October. The mountaintop can be significantly colder than the base, so bring warm layers even in summer, and note that the ropeway may close temporarily during strong winds or severe weather.
