Everything went smoothly, but the train was absolutely packed. However, they charge a €50 deposit for the audio guide—that should be mentioned in the description here. That’s why I’m giving it only 4 stars, since this important information was missing. (Cash or card accepted)

The location is very beautiful, especially if you combine it with a hiking trip. However, I cannot give it a perfect score due to difficulties in using the booked services. You have to go to many different locations to pick up train tickets or gain access to the museum. These locations are not described in great detail. Also, the description mentions the option to choose between train + rack railway or train + cable car. In reality, we received a reservation for train + rack railway, with no option to choose the cable car.
