Short walk down hill from our hotel to the cable car station, very helpful staff assisted us into the gondola. The views on the way up were fantastic. At the top, sitting in the warm sunshine with mountains as far as the eye could see and a very pleasant bar/cafe, plus a revolving restaurant what more could one want.
