The gondola ride was really beautiful but the organization at the base needs to be better. You cannot tell where you are supposed to buy tickets for the various activities or where you are supposed to get off the gondola for those activities.

We booked the tickets in advance, so we didn't have to wait. It's absolutely incredible up on the mountain. The trail and hiking paths are excellent and well maintained.
