You can hike up and down, though we recommend to hike up the Mountain via the Platteklip Gorge path and take a the cable car down (approx R120 one way). When at the top, you can explore via the contour path. Do not hike when the winds are strong or if Table Mountain is covered by clouds. The Cable Car Railway close in poor weather.

It is a 30 min - 1hr hike upwards and same down. Also fairly steep, wear shoes with good grip and remember enough water and snacks. The views at the top is very rewarding! Aim to also have an early start in the morning around 07h30 -09h30. Other than avoiding the heat of the day, most people hike early or late and provides safety in numbers.
