Table Mountain Cableway closed from today – Here's why
According to the Table Mountain Aerial Cableway Company (TMACC), operations are then scheduled to resume on Monday, 4 August, weather permitting.
The shutdown, which occurs each year, is part of routine maintenance aimed at ensuring the continued safety and reliability of the cable car system. Annual maintenance underway
'During the shutdown, all Cableway facilities, including the Top and Lower Stations, restrooms, restaurants, and shops will be closed.' TMACC said on its website.
This includes VIEWS by De Grendel, TEN67 Eatery, KLOUD Bar, TAP Bar, the Shop at the Top, other retail outlets and all ablution facilities.
Despite the closure, Table Mountain will remain accessible to hikers, with most trails and walkways staying open.
Hikers are advised to plan accordingly, as there will be no cable car available for descent. Weather conditions can also change quickly, so visitors should come prepared for a full hike and monitor forecasts closely.
The cableway company added on their Facebook page that SA citizens with birthdays in July or August can still redeem their free birthday return ticket during their birthday month, as usual, outside of the annual maintenance period.

The world's most stressful travel destinations revealed
Travelling might be an escape for many, but not every travel destination delivers a stress-free experience. According to the Daily Mail , a new study analysing 51 of the world's most-visited cities has revealed which ones test tourists' patience the most. Researchers factored in weather discomfort, crime rates, tourist density, and visitor reviews mentioning stress. And the results were surprising, with a South African city even featuring in the top 20. The results showed that Paris, France, was the most stressful travel destination, attracting more than 47.5 million tourists annually, all packed into just 105km². That makes the French capital 10 times busier than New York in terms of tourists per square kilometre. While its weather and crime levels were relatively average, the overwhelming crowds earned Paris the top spot. Second place went to Hanoi, Vietnam. The city's sweltering humidity made it physically uncomfortable for visitors, ranking highest in weather-related stress. Add in the high number of reviews mentioning stressful experiences, and Hanoi leaves many travellers hot, bothered, and overwhelmed. In third place was Shanghai, China, which sees a staggering 300 million visitors each year – 47 318 people per km². Shanghai also made the top 20 for both crime and stress-related reviews, sealing its position as one of the world's most challenging destinations to navigate. According to the study, these were the top 20 most stressful travel destinations: City Overall rank Negative reviews Crowds Crime Weather Paris, France 1st 24th 1st 5th 14th Hanoi, Vietnam 2nd 4th 38th 24th 1st Shanghai, China 3rd 19th 15th 33rd 20th Berlin, Germany 4th 30th 30th 25th 30th Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam 5th 11th 45th 23rd 9th Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia 6th 26th 10th 4th 37th London, United Kingdom 7th 22nd 33rd 7th 24th Hong Kong, China 8th 17th 17th 49th 10th Cairo, Egypt 9th 3rd 41st 12th 47th Rome, Italy 10th 40th 21st 21st 18th Amsterdam, Netherlands 11th 36th 8th 42nd 3rd Los Angeles, United States 12th 1st 16th 9th 35th New York City, United States 13th 23rd 11th 8th 38th Auckland, New Zealand 14th 9th 50th 28th 4th Cape Town, South Africa 15th 21st 49th 2nd 13th Singapore, Singapore 16th 41st 23rd 39th 2nd Rio de Janeiro, Brazil 17th 48th 42nd 1st 7th Florence, Italy 18th 18th 7th 29th 29th Phuket, Thailand 19th 35th 26th 31st 11th Toronto, Canada 20th 5th 32nd 26th 5th Leaving a comment below, or sending a WhatsApp to 060 011 021 1 Subscribe to The South African website's newsletters and follow us on WhatsApp, Facebook, X and Bluesky for the latest news.

Up, up and away! Table Mountain Aerial Cableway reopens after a tune-up
South Africa's Table Mountain Aerial Cableway is back in operation after being closed for maintenance. Image: Supplied The iconic Table Mountain Aerial Cableway Company (TMACC) has officially reopened its doors to the public following a week-long maintenance shutdown designed to ensure optimal safety and operational efficiency. The annual maintenance was scheduled from July 28 to August 3, with visitors welcomed back on August 4. During the maintenance period, all operational and commercial facilities at both the Lower and Top Stations, including restaurants and ablution facilities, were closed. However, the natural beauty of Table Mountain remained accessible for hiking, walking, and cycling enthusiasts eager to explore the picturesque landscapes. TMACC's Executive Director, Selma Hercules, expressed excitement about the reopening, stating, 'Our annual shutdown allows us to carry out essential upgrades and make sure the Cableway runs at the highest possible standards. We're delighted to welcome visitors to the mountain!' The annual maintenance shutdown happens in the middle of the year, after the mid-year school holidays, during South Africa's winter season, which is a generally quieter period for tourism. This year's closure was brief compared to last year's extended shutdown, which lasted an unprecedented seven weeks from July 15 to September 1. This longer duration was necessary to align with global safety protocols and ensure comprehensive maintenance that met the rigorous Swiss BAV regulations for cableways. Significantly, the maintenance work included a full track cable replacement for the first time since 1997, along with meticulous inspections of the operating equipment, cable cars and their component mechanisms. All four of the 1.5 km-long track rope cables were replaced as per OEM (Doppelmayr Garaventa) specifications, underlining TMACC's commitment to safety and performance. Notably, TMACC has garnered attention for its sustainability efforts, recently winning a silver medal in the Managing Waste category at the 2025 WTM Africa Responsible Tourism Awards, as well as a nomination for the Best Tourist Attraction in the Best of the Cape Awards 2025. TMACC offers an unforgettable experience, providing stunning panoramic views of Cape Town, the majestic ocean, and the surrounding landscapes. The cable cars rotate a full 360 degrees on the ascent, ensuring every passenger enjoys a magnificent view as they journey to the summit, where the rich biodiversity of the World Heritage site awaits exploration.
