Leider konnten wir nicht wie gebucht zur Spitze fahren, aber die Rückerstattung von 15 EURO pro Person kam schnell aufs Konto. Das Treppensteigen war auch für Untrainierte gut möglich. Anstrengend war nur die ca 2 Stunden Wartezeit in der Schlange vor der Treppe, trotz vorheriger Buchung. Aber es war ein tolles Erlebnis. Auch der Guide war sehr nett.

Did not get access to summit. We specifically bought the guided tour tickets just to go to summit.
