“The Combo is a good idea as it’s definitely a must going on the iconic tram tour to explore the. The drivers explain all the sites and what can be seen and explored at every stop. The gondola up the mountain is a great experience and there are various trails to walk around at the top. The view is amazing especially if the weather is great and the visibility is as good as it was today.”
