Ascend by funicular before the crowds, then hike a quiet ridge trail with sweeping views over the harbor and surrounding peaks. A rare, unhurried summit experience most visitors never get to see.
What to expect
You'll ride up in near-empty cars just as the light turns gold over the water, then set out along a ridge trail with your guide narrating local geology and folklore. There's time to pause at overlooks for photos, and the descent can be made by trail or funicular depending on your pace.
Good to know
Dress in layers — summit temperatures run cooler even in summer. Early departure means you'll be back at the harbor by midday, well ahead of any afternoon sailing.
