About
Quick facts: This mountain has a road with 99 curves, considered one of the most dangerous in the world. The cable car that connects it to the city is one of the longest on the planet, with almost 7.5 kilometers of route.
Highlights: At the top, a glass path suspended 1,430 meters above the ground offers dizzying views of the valley and surrounding peaks. The so-called 'Gate of Heaven' is a huge natural rock arch, measuring 131 meters high and accessible after climbing 999 steps.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable and non-slip shoes for the glass paths.
- Avoid weekend mornings to dodge the highest influx of visitors.
- Do not miss the natural arch viewpoint. It is less crowded at sunset.
- Wear layered clothing because the temperature varies greatly between the base and the summit.
