I highly recommend this trip. The tramway is the 2nd steepest in the world and the ride was the best part. Due to ice on the ground we couldn't walk around much, but we enjoyed the paved path that leads from the mountain station for a while. We bought our ticket from tripadvisor and it wasn't for a specific time, so when we got there we had to wait in line with the other hords of people. The Tramway only honors your ticket if it has a time designated on it and we were told that those tickets only come from the website and there are only 10 tickets per hour. So..... You might as well not buy a ticket unless you can get it from the Tramway website. Otherwise, your chances of getting on are basically the same and your waiting time is the same. We waited for about 2 hours on a Saturday to get on. It's amazing that they can't figure out a better way in this day and age, but that is how it is if you want to ride the tram. At least there was adequate seating, a gift shop and things to look at.
