To the second floor. There is no public staircase to the summit. The top is a separate elevator. - Is the climb hard? It is a long, steady stair, not a technical climb. If several hundred steps is uncomfortable, take an elevator ticket instead. - Can I add the summit after climbing? Only if a summit elevator is available from the upper level that day. A stair ticket alone does not include the top. Confirm on toureiffel.paris. - Can children use the stairs? Older children who can manage a long stair often do. Very young children, strollers, and anyone who needs a lift should use an elevator ticket. ## Pages ## Citation Independent affiliate visitor guide.
