The Table Mountain Aerial Cableway will be closed from July 28 to August 10 for scheduled annual maintenance. This is required to meet the global cableway standards set by the Swiss Governing Body for Cableways.
The maintenance plans include cleaning of the ropes and slack rope tests, renewing switches and bearings where necessary, servicing of the main gearbox, generators and back-up generators, as well as general maintenance and testing.
There will also be some infrastructure refurbishment undertaken, including general painting and upkeep and road painting for the new MyCiti bus route to the Lower Cableway Station.
Cableway specials will be introduced before and after the annual maintenance period. Specials include a free return ticket for adults on their birthday on presentation of a South African ID and the Kidz Season special that offers two children under 18 years a free return trip if they are accompanied by a full paying adult, valid over weekends, public and school holidays until October 31.
Should your birthday fall within this closure period, you are entitled to redeem your complimentary Cableway birthday ticket one week before or one week after annual maintenance.
