Table Mountain Aerial Cableway temporarily closes for annual maintenance: 28 July to 3 August

The Table Mountain Aerial Cableway Company (TMACC) will be temporarily closing its operations for annual maintenance from Monday, 28 July to 3 August 2025.

This planned shutdown is part of TMACC's ongoing commitment to safety, reliability, and excellence in service.

Each year, the Cableway undergoes routine inspections and essential upgrades to ensure the system continues to operate to the highest international safety standards.

Important notice for hikers:

While the mountain itself remains open to outdoor enthusiasts, hikers and climbers should note that all facilities at the summit and base stations will be closed during the shutdown.

This includes VIEWS by De Grendel, TEN67 Eatery, KLOUD Bar, TAP Bar, the Shop at the Top and other retail outlets as well as the ablution facilities. As the cable cars will be completely out of commission, no trips up or down will take place, so hikers must prepare to return down on foot. We strongly advise carrying sufficient water, snacks, and appropriate gear for your hike.

Birthday ticket holders:

South African citizens with birthdays in July or August can still redeem their free birthday return ticket during their birthday month, as usual, outside of the shutdown period.

Table Mountain Aerial Cableway will resume operations post-maintenance on 4 August 2025.
