Snow on Table Mountain: August chill sets in

  • By Table Mountain Cableway
  • 5 August 2011

This morning, a light dusting of snow fell on the summit of Table Mountain – much to the delight of those who had made it to the top of Cape Town’s famed landmark in icy conditions. Sometimes the cold is worth it! Here’s the proof in pictures! 

Remember to dress very warmly if you’re coming to the top today – temperatures on the summit are way below the already freezing temps on “ground level”.

Buy tickets online and skip the ticket office queue.

Not quite what you were expecting, sir? Not quite what you were expecting, sir?

The pics below were sent to us by Cableway visitor Clive Maart, who also happened to celebrate his birthday today. He got a free ride up and down as part of our Birthday Special. Happy Birthday Clive and thanks for the great pics!
