Fantastic view of most of the year around snowed


top of mountain. It’s amazing even viewed at the
bottom of the mountain. The view of the city at night
is heart-melted.

It’s beautiful!!! Better to take train to go up because


you can stop anywhere you like….coffee, pictures or
activities. Start earlier as you can because the shop
close mostly at 4pm. It’s good for the whole family.
