Table Mountain Aerial Cableway
If you’ve chosen the mountain rather
than the sea and want to get up in a hurry, the cable car is the
first choice and the easy way up to the 1086m summit. But
be warned that bad weather halts operations. Even in clear,
warm weather, take a sweater or windbreaker, as it tends to be
cool at that altitude. The new revolving cable car gives
stunning, vertiginous views over Cape Town and its surroundings.
Once on top, viewing decks that ‘hang’ visitors over
the edge of the mountain offer wonderful photographic
opportunities. On top of the mountain you can walk, shop,
use telescopes, take photos, and eat at the restaurant. Rates
change significantly according to the season.
Telephone number: 424-5148 for weather

The Cable Way was built many years ago.
In the year 1996 the cable car was up graded. As you go up
in the cable car you will have the most spectacular over look of
Cape Town. It will take you about 5-10 minutes to get to the top
of Table Mountain, once you get to the top you will get out of
the Cable car and you are allowed to go and walk on the top of
the mountain. From the top you can see Camps Bay, the
Harbour, and just about everything in the Super Bowl area. Table
Mountain is made of marsberry shale. It is a form of sedimentary
rock laid down millions of years ago; it also proves that many
years ago Table Mountain was submerged under the water.
