ICYMI! @tablemountainca will temporarily close for annual maintenance from Monday, 28 July to Sunday, 3 August 2025.

During this time, all commercial activities at both the Upper and Lower Stations will be closed to the public.

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

Hikers can still enjoy a trek up Table Mountain, with many routes and walkways accessible. However, all facilities at the summit and base stations will be closed during the shutdown.
