The Table Mountain Cableway will be closed for annual maintenance from Monday, July 18 to Sunday, July 31, 2011. This means that it will be open for business again on August 1, weather-permitting.

The safety of all visitors to the Table Mountain Cableway is the first and foremost priority, and that’s why extensive maintenance and safety checks are conducted on the cable cars annually, ensuring that strict international standards are met.

The Swiss Governing Body for Cableways has requirements that must be met each and every year.

But in the periods before and after maintenance, don’t forget to take advantage of the fantastic birthday special on offer. If it is your birthday and you are over 18, you can claim a free return ticket on presentation of a South African ID. And don’t worry – should your birthday fall during the maintenance period, you can still claim the free ticket either a week before or a week after closure.

Please note: The Cableway Visitor Centre will be closed during the annual maintenance period. No Cable Card applications will be processed during this time. Feel free to email cablecard@tablemountain.net should you have any queries.
