Here’s a picture of the arrival into the lower level where the museum and gift shop are. The folks in the red jackets are my choir friends walking in from the bus parking lot under the covered walkway. The head house of the gondola is the tan building with the yellow sign. You can see the tracks of the railway that lead to the station. The two lane road winds up to the upper level but doesn’t get close to the edge.
Here’s the stairs that go from the lower lever to the main plaza.
I rode the gondola up and took the train down. There’s only one way in and out of the monastery.
