Very cute. I was up to the top with a visitor in February and there was no work going on. I was interested to know what was up.

For anyone visiting now, they have a new transit system. Gone are the days of private taxis all the way to the top. One must either take the funicular all of the way to the top - often with long waits - and more costly or else a minibus and then a different bus combined with an entry ticket for the last bit to the top. If anyone is 65 or over, the entry and bus are free. Not sure about the railway.
