Tourmalet as Spectator - How to get to the summit without cycling??

Hi folks!

I'm riding the Etape this July and my friends family are planning a mid-ride viewing point (and musette hand-out) a the top of the Tourmalet. They're not really cyclists so tapping it out to the top isn't an option. The road is also closed

How else can they get up? Do the ski lifts still operate in the summer? are there other roads up to the summit?

Any help gratefully received

Thanks. Lindo
