On the official website Masada reports such information. Please note: The entrance from Masada East is open to visitors – cable car only, without the Snake Path.

Visitors may ascend via the Ramp Path from the west or via the cable car from the east, at an additional fee and by reservation.

Q:
Are advance reservations needed to use the cable car? I found the website of the masada national park and it says you should reserve to make sure you get in, however on the day we want to visit, the earliest option for reservation is after 12:00 noon, but we will be there at 10:00. I am a bit puzzled as nobody here really mentioned the reservations, do you think we will be able to go at 10:00 without a reservation? We will be arriving on our own without a tour. Any help/advice appreciated!

I was there in April and reservations were required to go up via the tram.
