Table Mountain - Icon of Cape Town
Table Mountain, a massive sandstone plateau rising over a kilometre above the city, has always been a welcome sight for seafarers. On a clear day it can be visible from 200 kms out to sea. The summit is approximately 3km wide and at Maclear's Beacon, its highest point, rises to a height of 1085m.

Over the centuries it has become one of South Africa's most famous landmarks. Although there are numerous hiking trails to the top of the mountain, for the less energetic, the revolving cable car is the most popular way of making the ascent. There are over 2 kilometres of paths and numerous viewing sites on the summit.

Facilities
A gift shop and restuarants are available at the upper cable station. The Cableway Cocktail Bar is ideal for sunset watching and can also be booked for various functions. The Summit Boardroom accommodates up to 80 guests offering a very different venue for staff training or entertaining VIP guests.

Accessibility
The Cableway is freely accessible to people with disabilities. There are dedicated parking bays near the lift entrance at the lower cable station. Guide dogs are welcome aboard and most seem to enjoy the ride.
