You can take the gondola ride up to the peak, or alternatively, you can do the famous "Grouse Grind" - a tough hike up to the peak, and take the gondola back down afterwards. Tourists are known to attempt this hike unprepared...just know that it's not for the faint of heart and don't attempt it in flip flops or sandals.
