Having done the tram several times: A word to the wise.

Bring a jacket and wear 'real' shoes and even jeans. The temperature at the top can be 30+ degrees colder than at the bottom. One trip in March there was a foot of snow at the top of the tram and heavy winds, but it was 35+ C (95 F) at the bottom.

>Adult tickets are 17.65. Kids 5-12 are 11.65. I'll call Monday to see about group discounts.

>After 2 they offer a combo ticket for 21.65 that includes dinner at the Alpine Restaurant at the top. I don't imagine it's 4-star :) but includes choice of primerib, chicken, pork, or vegetarian. Salad or soup. Roll. A non-alcholic beverage.
