Cable car tickets can be purchased on the spot or online. You can buy round-trip tickets or one-way tickets. Many people choose to take the cable car up and walk down the trail. I only went by myself this time, so I chose a more relaxed and comfortable way and bought a round-trip ticket. After enjoying the scenery and sunshine at the top of the mountain, we walked back along the original path to take the cable car.
