What is the name of the cable car in the mountains? The fastest, scariest, highest, longest, steepest cable cars in the world. Prague cable car in the Czech Republic
peace.
The longest cable car is located in Gabon. However, it is unlikely that you will be able to ride on it; the road is intended for transporting manganese ore from the mine; its length is 76 km. The construction of this road took 3 years. It has been in operation since 1962, with 2,800 buckets running between 858 towers.
It received the title of the longest cable car relatively recently. In Sweden there was a 96-kilometer road along which ore was delivered from Lapland. However, it was dismantled. Only a 13.2 km section was upgraded into an attraction.
In the same Sweden there is a 42-kilometer cable car designed to transport marble and lime from a quarry to the nearest cement plant. However, its operation ceased in 1997. Since 1942, more than 2.5 million tons have been transported along it.
The Colombian cable car, which is 200 km long, has not even survived to this day! It connected Bogota and the sea coast.
Already today, the longest single-span passenger road has appeared in Armenia. Its construction was completed in the fall of 2010 and cost $18 million. “Wings of Tatev” stretches over 5752 m and passes over the picturesque Vorotyn Gorge, connecting the villages of Halidzor and Tatev, where the ancient monastery is located. The height of the road above the gorge is 320 m. The cabin, designed for 25 passengers, offers a truly stunning view. Road cables can withstand a load 10-15 times greater than the prescribed norm. The entire journey takes just over 10 minutes, but even this time is enough to enjoy the beauty of nature while being at a decent altitude. The cost of the trip for tourists is 6 euros, for the local population it is free. This road is recorded in the Guinness Book of Records.
Not a single road is without incident. Thus, in October 2012, 37 people were stuck halfway on the Armenian cable car. The electric motors stopped due to a lightning strike. Rescuers evacuated the frightened passengers.
It is unlikely that skiing would have become so widespread if one had to walk up the mountain. Since the first lifts appeared, their design has been constantly improved, and the cable cars themselves have become more comfortable and safe. the site visited the Rosa Khutor ski resort, where Alexey Petrovich Tretyakov, deputy head of the cable car service, gave us a tour and talked about how a modern ski lift works, using the example of the Olympia cable car, which takes resort guests to Rose Plateau (1170 meters above sea level).
"Olympia" is a gondola-type cable car, consisting of two stations - the upper (drive) station, where the engine and backup generator are located, and the lower (bypass) station. First we went up inside the drive station. Personally, I've always been curious about what's inside.
For those interested in the details of how the cable car works, please refer to cat.
The video shows the operation of the mechanism that uncouples the cabin from the rope and slows down the motion of the cabin. At 0:50, the moment when the cabin enters the station is shown in slow motion.
At (1:09) the same moment, but at maximum speed (6 m/s). When the cabin flies into the station at full speed, a special lever with a roller hits the guides (red inclined rails) and goes down, accordingly the clamp rises and gradually releases the cable.
The first wheels (in the video with black tires) that press suspension system cabins rotate at the speed of the cable. On the 7th wheel, the clamp is completely released (1:14), and the cabin no longer moves with the help of a rope, but with the help of a conveyor of wheels. Pulleys are attached to each wheel (1:07), and with the help of a reduction belt drive, each next wheel spins a little slower than the previous one, gradually reducing the speed of the cabin to a minimum (1:27). At the same time, the rope continues to spin at the same speed (at the exit from the station, on the contrary, at each wheel the speed increases to the speed of the rope).
Each cable car is also equipped with an anti-collision system to prevent the cabins from colliding with each other. In the video at 1:29 you can see how the sensor that tracks the location of the booths lights up; it sends signals to the computer that control the distance between the booths.
Sensors that monitor rope clamping. The red plate bends upward when the cabin clamp passes under it, and two independent sensors record the force of the rope clamp.
Clamp sensors
The readings from the sensors are sent to a computer, which will immediately stop the cable car if the cabin clamp does not grip the rope tightly enough. In the photo below there is a computer screen on which you can see the sensor readings and threshold values at which the personnel are notified and the cable car automatically stops. If this happens, the driver will reverse the cabs, unload people and check the mechanism. If the cabin is clamped to a normal value, then the work will continue; if there is an emergency again, then the cabin will be driven into the repair box and it will be carefully checked. In any case, the computer will not release the cabin with weak pressure on the line.
You can see how the doors of the cabin open in principle, the system is the same - inclined guides into which a lever with a roller fits, the lever rises, and the doors open using a hydraulic mechanism. When exiting the station, the guides lower the lever.
Next we went to the room where the cable car operators work. Workplace The operator is located behind a large window through which you can see the landing and landing area and is equipped with a computer, duplicate means of communication with other cable car stations (wireless radio and wired telephone), and a hydraulic brake lever for the cable car (the red thing on the right in the photo).
Behind the operator there are several large cabinets with equipment.
Buttons for planned (soft) stop and emergency (sharp) stop of the cable car engine, as well as other buttons
Touch screen computer controlling the cable car
Cabinet interiors
The cable car control system is equipped with a modem, and at the request of the ski resort, if problems arise, the manufacturer (Doppelmayer) can connect and remotely monitor the operation of all system components. Alexey Petrovich also said that every year all cable cars undergo mandatory inspection - the cabins are loaded with sandbags, load tests are carried out and the cable car is tested in the most severe conditions. The rope itself also undergoes regular inspection, which includes a test called magnetic flaw detection, which is similar to an x-ray. This process looks for damage, deformation and broken wires, and checks the rope for increases or decreases in diameter. Particular attention is paid to checking the splice, this is where the rope is connected, in other words, it is a knot that connects the ends of the rope, which makes it a single ring. But this is another story that requires a separate story.
In order not to encounter the fact that the cable cars are closed during a visit to the resort, preventive measures.
In order to better examine the structure of the supports, we rode in an open technological cabin.
On some supports the cable car is installed wind system, with a wind of 15 m/s, it will slow down the speed of the cabins to 1.5 m/s and inform the cable car staff about this with an audible alarm and an indication on the control panel. And when the wind speed increases to 17 m/s, the speed of the cabins will decrease to a minimum of 0.3 m/s. Maximum speed roads 6 meters per second.
Support with wind system
To prevent the rope from jumping off the rollers, there are sensors on each support that record this situation, and traps next to the rollers that will prevent the rope from falling.
Rope traps on support
On negative supports (where the cable passes under the rollers), the traps are also inverted accordingly.
Negative support
The Olympia cable car differs from other cable cars in Krasnaya Polyana in that one of its sections passes over the gorge at an altitude of 126 meters. A very beautiful view opens up from here. In winter, sometimes I had to ride in the same cabin with beginners who panicked a little on this section. Like, if the electricity is turned off, how will they remove us from here? I'm in general outline I knew that they would film it somehow, but I only found out how exactly now - at the outer supports on both sides of the gorge there are winches with a cable. If necessary, the rescuer climbs the support, uses a suspended bicycle to ride along the rope to the cabin hovering above the gorge, uses a special device to loosen the cabin clamp by 2 millimeters so that it can slide along the rope, hooks the winch cable to the cabin and pulls the cabin to the lift support, from where it can be removed people are already easy enough. As you can see, there is absolutely no reason to worry.
For a photographer, of course, riding in an open cabin is much more convenient; nothing blocks the excellent view from the lift :-)
Below, at the bypass station, everything is about the same, only without the emergency drive. To the left of the boarding area there is a garage for cabins (when there are not many guests at the resort, in order not to load the cable car with excess weight, some of the cabins are removed and driven here). For example, in winter there are a maximum of 77 cabins on the line, but today only half are 38. The cabins are also being repaired here.
Garage
This is what it is, a cable car.
The cable car is one of the few technological solutions that perfectly demonstrates the capabilities of modern engineering around the world. It is difficult to imagine a high-altitude resort without a modern cable car, thanks to which climbers and other athletes and vacationers get to hard-to-reach mountain peaks.
Ropeways are also very popular when filming and feature films. feature films. But there are other examples, thanks to which big cities solve traffic problems on the roads, and in some remote villages this means of transportation is even the only way get to the required place.
Take a look at the most unusual cable cars from around the world:
The fastest cable car in the world
One of the most impressive buildings in. cable car Genting Skyway connects the town of Gohtong Jaya and the scenic hotel Resorts World Genting in Malaysia. This is the fastest cable car in the world, the speed of which can reach more than 21 kilometers per hour.
The most scenic cable car
French road Aiguille du Midi capable of lifting adventurers out of the city of Chamonix in almost just a few minutes. From here, an incredible route opens through the Vallée Blanche valley to the picturesque alpine peak of Helbrunner.
One of the longest cable cars in the world
Powered by a diesel generator, this cableway is more than 1 kilometer long and connects the village of Yushan, home to just over 200 residents, with “ outside world" The road was built in 1997, and before that residents had to walk several days to get to the nearest settlement.
Cable car over the valleys of Switzerland
The world's first cable car with an open platform located on the roof of the cabin allows passengers to travel to the top of the Stanserhorn mountain (altitude 1900 meters) in just 6 minutes, while enjoying incredible views of the Swiss valleys. 
Cable car to the "City of the Gods" in Rio
Some cities are famous for their unusual and... In this case, you can't forget the famous cable car to the top of Sugarloaf Mountain. It was here that one of them was filmed - “Moonraker” (Moonraker, 1979).
The longest cable car in the mountains
The Chinese Tianmen Mountain Cable Road is the longest in the world among mountain peaks. Its length is 7455 meters, and the height difference is 1279 meters.
The longest cable car in the world
Designed to meet the needs of the Bolivian city of La Paz, this 10-kilometer cable car is the longest aerial railway in the world. It was built in 2014 as a solution to the problems of congestion and traffic jams in the city. The road's capacity is 18,000 passengers per hour, and during one of the local periods presidential elections More than 6,000,000 Bolivians used the cableway in just 2 days!
Cable car over the Thames
There are 34 bridges in London and it seems that no means of transportation over the River Thames is needed anymore. And yet, in 2012, the cableway was launched Emirates Air Line, thanks to which you can cross the river at an altitude of 90 meters from the ground and at the same time admire impressive views of the British capital.
The longest cable car without supports
Canadian Cableway Peak 2 Peak is the longest cable car without intermediate supports. Its length is 3024 meters, and the height difference is a record 436 meters for this type of structure. 
The highest cable car in the world
Located in the city of Merida, Venezuela, this cable car is considered the highest in the world and can take you from 1640 meters to an altitude of 4765 meters above sea level to the peaks of the Andes.

I continue to fulfill requests from . Today's topic for a post is from soullaway :
"..to ask about all the cable cars in our country))"
I started to think, what can I tell you about such a very... general theme. In total, as of 2010, there are about 400 cable cars at 109 resorts in the European part of the country and 49 in the Asian part. a list of some of them. And an abandoned cable car in Penza, for example. Imagine how many of them are operational, idle and abandoned throughout the country! Here I seem to inadvertently draw your attention, ask the topic of the post more narrowly and more specifically, because it is impossible to grasp the immensity :-)
Many of the most interesting cable cars are no longer in our country, but for example in Ukraine - for example on Ai-Petri. I rode... very impressive!
In general, the world's first cable car appeared in the Swiss Alps in 1866. Swiss cable car for a long time was almost the only one in the world. Massive interest in this type of transport appeared only a hundred years later. you can see the most interesting cable cars in the world. But our topic is the cable cars of Russia. So, we think further.
I invite you to see one of the latest cable cars in our country and one of the most unique! Suitable? Go...
Opened on February 9, 2012 Russia's first passenger cable car built between cities Nizhny Novgorod and Bor.
And a Nizhny Novgorod blogger will help us with this dimfoto with his amazing report.
That's how it all started. The centers of Nizhny and Bor are separated by the Volga, and the distance between them is about 3 km. This
in a straight line... If you travel by highway, the distance between the cities is 27 km. It takes a lot of time to travel from one city to another, and car traffic on the Borsky Bridge is difficult. But this road should significantly reduce travel time between cities.
The customer of the project is JSC “Ropeways”, the architects are LLC Architectural and Construction Association “Russian House”.
In the world, ten cable cars are used as urban passenger transport. The Nizhny-Bor cable car will become the longest. The distance between the terminal stations will be 3658 m, including 1336 m above the Volga. There are longer routes, but they are located in ski resorts and are not considered public transport.
A special feature of the structure will be the passage over the navigable part of the river. It will be made without supports and will be 882 m long. The uniqueness of the Nizhny Novgorod cable car is that for the first time it will connect two cities on opposite banks of the Volga: as a rule, such roads operate within the same locality.
“The investor of the project is OJSC Nizhny Novgorod Ropeways, created after the conclusion of an agreement between the regional government and the world leader in designing ropeways, the French company POMA,” said Vladimir Ivanov. — The document was signed by Governor Valery Shantsev and POMA President Jean Gautier at the International Commercial Real Estate Exhibition MIPIM-2008 in Cannes. The company was founded by the government Nizhny Novgorod region(67.93% shares) and the Nizhny Novgorod City Hall (32%). 0.07% of the shares are owned by the General Department of Improvement of the City of Bor.
The volume of investment in the creation of the road (without stations) will be about 550 million rubles, the payback period is 5-7 years, said Vladimir Ivanov. The cost of the end stations is estimated at around 100 million rubles. It is planned that the trial launch of the Nizhny Novgorod cable car will take place in December 2009, and regular service will begin in April-May 2010.
European, Russian, and Nizhny Novgorod companies are participating in the implementation of the project. The order for the supply of equipment was received by POMA. The road project is being carried out by the Moscow JSC “Gortekhproektpostavka”, Nizhny Novgorod transport company CJSC Sovfracht NN is engaged in the transportation of oversized cargo from Belgorod and France. A general contractor will be determined in the near future - applications have been submitted from six Nizhny Novgorod construction companies and one from out of town.
The cable car supports are manufactured by Energomash CJSC (Belgorod) - Production of metal structures.” As the director of the company for sales of metal structures, Konstantin Teterin, told the Exchange, the company won the tender, beating foreign and Russian competitors: “We presented a more impressive “Reference of deliveries” of complex objects,” he says. — Among them are the structures of the Lokomotiv stadium in Moscow (3000 tons), power transmission supports across the Amur to the Bureyskaya hydroelectric station with a height of up to 191 m (2340 tons). There is also experience in manufacturing supports and traverses for the cable car of the Krasnaya Polyana resort near Sochi (65 tons) and supports for the cable car in the village. Terskol on Elbrus (123 tons). Another plus is the offer of hot-dip galvanizing and finishing painting of structures, guaranteeing high-precision manufacturing of parts. The POMA company and the designer ZAO Gortekhproektpostavka already knew us as partners. The contract for the production of ten supports was signed in April 2009. Drawings of the supports in the three-dimensional modeling program were made by the metal structures department of the Energomash engineering center.
The Nizhny Novgorod company Russian House LLC was entrusted with designing the stations. The areas of the stations are approximately the same, but from a design point of view they are different. The station on the Nizhny Novgorod side is given Special attention; since the building will be located in a spectacular location near the square. Hay. Borsky Station will appear between the Alisa Center for Extracurricular Activities and residential buildings. It is possible that cafes, retail places, and parking lots will open on the territory of the stations, and private investment will be attracted for their construction.
The average daily passenger traffic between Nizhny and Bor is 21,000 people, but it increases in summer and decreases in winter. It is expected that the cable car will initially transport 1,000 people per day. Up to 55 cabins can be installed on the track, accommodating 8 people. The business plan includes a ticket price of no more than 50 rubles. It will be tied to the cost of a ticket on the Nizhny - Bor bus.
The cable car will be in demand: “On weekdays, many Nizhny Novgorod and Bor residents move across the Volga to work and study. On Friday evening and Monday morning, the passenger traffic is replenished with vacationers. From spring to autumn, the population of the Borsky district almost doubles: elderly Bor residents who live in Nizhny in the winter and in their native villages in the summer, and summer residents, for whom the cable car will be especially convenient if a regular bus service is created for it, come. Negotiations have already been held with the administration of the Borsky district on the organization of bus routes from the final station to the surrounding villages. The movement of the booths is also comfortable because it completely eliminates waiting time: walk up and go. The road will relieve congestion on the only bridge across the Volga, and there is reason to believe that it will not lose its relevance even with the launch of a new bridge to Bor from Podnovye.”
It looks like almost everything is ready here for stretching the cable on which the booths will hang.
The motor that will drive the cable seems to be located on the bore side, and here is a mechanism for tensioning the cable.
The blue box in the background appears to be a hydraulic pump.
To the left, workers are building a garage to store the cabins.
According to Alexander Shchagin, deputy director for territorial planning at Research Center Land and City LLC, “young people under 30 will actively use the road, while older people will prefer traditional trains, buses, and ferries in the summer. Aerophobia should not be discounted. If it blows strong wind and there will be a bumpiness, it will be difficult for the elderly. What if the cabins stop in the middle of the river? European skiers often hover over the slopes, but such things are a novelty for Russians. Will a possible rise in the water level in the Volga prevent the work of the cable car? Will it be safe to drive? There are a lot of questions.”
From the outside, the garage looks like a concrete box.
To the left of the garage there are trenches, apparently under strip foundation external walls or communications.
The inside of the garage is quite spacious, but it’s still interesting how 62 cabins will fit here (this is the number of them indicated in the technical characteristics of the cable car, although in the Security System section it is mentioned that “the traction-carrying rope is capable of carrying a load of 56 passenger gondolas.” )? Apparently, not all gondolas will spend the night here.
In some places finishing work is already underway.
“An additional factor in attracting passengers to the cable car could be intensive dacha construction on the left bank of the Volga. In the long term, the cable car will become an important link in the transport connection between Nizhny Novgorod and the satellite city of Globe Town. But when the Podnovye-Bor bridge is built, the cable car as a transport will lose relevance,” says Shchagin. But from the point of view of increasing the tourist attractiveness of Nizhny Novgorod, the idea of a cable car is very successful, experts say. “According to the experience of other countries, operating a cable car for tourism purposes is profitable, but in our country it will become an unusual attraction if an alternative tourism infrastructure is created on Bor,” says Shchagin. - For example, a water park. The Volga cable car is exotic for Russia.”
Tug of war
As Vladimir Ivanov reported, the government of Tatarstan also became interested in this type of transport, asked the government for POMA contacts and is already negotiating the creation of a cable car in Kazan.
Nizhny Novgorod cable car in numbers
Length - 3658 m.
Support height:
the lowest - 7 m,
the highest - 82 m
(due to the difference in terrain).
The total weight of the supports is 560 tons.
The maximum speed of the cabins is 5 m/sec.
Travel time at this speed is 12 minutes.
The crane's intentions do not seem to faze the prop captain. He proudly looks into the distance and spits down.
The bravery of the high-altitude installer scares off the pilots and they bring the car down to the sinful earth.
Let's go darling!
Someone had the foresight to unwind the cable along the shore all night, and to make it more fun, they also decorated it with striped ribbons. Cool!
This is what the blogger himself writes.
Russia's first passenger cable car between cities has finally opened. It connected the cities of Nizhny Novgorod and Bor along the shortest route - over the Volga River.
The construction of the road was announced in the press in 2008, and the opening was promised first in 2010, then in 2011. But passengers started driving only on February 9, 2012.
I must say that the discovery came almost unexpectedly. For example, I only found out about this around noon on February 8, when the information had not yet leaked into the electronic media.
We can say that the opening was attended only by people knowledgeable about the topic or who accidentally learned about the event.
I was at the Nizhny Novgorod station. Everything was very modest.
According to rumors, the Bor station was more crowded and solemn, but when I got there there was practically no one there :)
So, we waited for quite a long time for the cabins to bring someone from Bor. But the booths all came empty.
And then officials began to arrive from the Bor side.
The reporters huddled and tensed.
"We built and built and finally built it!" - The vice-governor of the Nizhny Novgorod region and at the same time the chairman of the board of directors of OJSC “Nizhny Novgorod ropeways” Vladimir Ivanov commented on the event approximately in this way.
After a rather long pause, someone finally remembers about the passengers and gives the go-ahead to sell tickets. People ran like a snake between the turnstiles to the ticket office.
There were no promised discounted tickets. All categories of passengers were sold tickets for 50 rubles. You could buy a pair at once - back and forth.
At first there was a queue to the booths. I did not notice any disabled people in wheelchairs or with crutches, or passengers with skis, bicycles or baby strollers. According to rumors, some managed to transport some large cargo later by paying for an additional ticket.
The paper ticket, similar to a regular cash receipt, has a barcode applied to it. The ticket must be inserted into the hole of the control device with the barcode facing up, after which the green arrow lights up and the “spinner” barrier is unlocked.
Let's go too.
The booth at the station moves at a speed of 0.3 m/s, which is quite comfortable for an ordinary healthy pedestrian, but you need to be careful with children. I have not yet seen how disabled people or passengers with strollers will be loaded.
Let's go. After a short acceleration and rocking, the cabin calmed down and moved smoothly. Movement speed - 5 m/s.
The glass is tinted, which makes photography a little more difficult. There is no heating in the cabins; the breath of passengers creates patterns on the windows in severe frost. At first we just stare out the windows, then we start sharing our impressions.
The lighting should turn on automatically. There are barred windows.
We pass over the Grebnoy Canal.
The Ascension Pechersky Monastery is clearly visible.
The Volga is already below.
We pass support T7 - one of the two highest. 82 meters!
One of the oldest cable cars was built in the Alps in the mid-19th century to take travelers to the observation deck. The greatest popularity came in the second half of the 20th century due to the growing popularity of ski resorts. Today on the planet there is great amount"airways", but few of them can be called unique.
The longest cable cars in the world have become most popular, and many tourists dream of riding them.
10. Grenoble (France)
(France) - one of the most unique cable cars, more than 600 meters long. It was erected in the 30s of the last century. It is thanks to her local residents for the first time gained access to the Bastille fortress, which is one of France. Over time, the road underwent radical modernization, becoming technical specifications one of the safest in the world.
9. Sternensauser (Switzerland)
(Switzerland) is a cable car with a length of 2 kilometers, which allows it to be included in the list of the longest in the world. This is one of the most unique cable cars, the structure of which is brilliantly simple. A very strong cable connects the two stations here. There are no funiculars here, instead there are mounts, each of which is designed for one person. The special roller design allows movement from one station to another. This is one of the most popular cable cars, since the maximum possible speed here can reach up to 90 kilometers per hour.
8. Tatevskaya (Armenia)
(Armenia) - the famous cable car throughout the world, whose length is 5.7 kilometers. It was erected relatively recently - 2010 is the year of its foundation. Its construction began with the aim of connecting two settlements - Tatev and Halidzor. Between them is the Vorotan Gorge, through which the cable car passes. The funiculars, which can accommodate up to 35 people at a time, move at a significant speed of 35 kilometers per hour. This speed allows you to overcome a fairly long cableway in less than a quarter of an hour. The windows of the trailer open very beautiful views on unique nature gorges. The cable car is located at the top of 320 kilometers.
7. Complexo do Alemano (Brazil)
(Brazil) is one of the longest in the world. The length of the cable car is about 3.5 kilometers. This is one of the youngest cable cars in the world, which was built seven years ago. Its construction took place over two years. Complexo de Alemano is capable of transporting up to three thousand passengers in 60 minutes. Another feature of this road is that it has the lowest fare in the world. In total, more than 150 funiculars run back and forth along the cable car, each of which is designed for 10 people.
6. Masada (Israel)
(Israel) is recognized as one of the lowest cable cars that exist on our planet. It is located 257 meters below sea level, and its length is 0.6 kilometers. A special feature of Masada is also the fact that it does not have additional supports. The cable car leads to the oldest local fortress with the same name. It was this landmark that prompted the construction of this cable car. Thanks to her, the fortress has become more accessible to tourists from all over the world. Previously, archaeologists had to make a dangerous journey to the site to study it.
5. Gulmarg (India)
(India) is rightfully considered unique not only due to its length, but also its height. Its length is 5 kilometers. Gulmarg leads to the same name ski resort, located in the Himalayas. The construction of the cable car was carried out due to the fact that many tourists simply could not afford an expensive helicopter ride. Thanks to this, Gulmarg has become even more popular among ski lovers.
4. Nha Trang (Vietnam)
(Vietnam) is one of the longest on the planet. Its length is 3.3 kilometers with a relatively low height of only seventy meters. The road connects the coastal area of Nha Trang with Hon Tre Island. Nha Trang is known for being one of the longest roads that pass over the sea. It is supported by nine massive columns. An exciting ride over the sea lasts approximately 20 minutes. Each cabin can accommodate up to 8 people at a time. The road has a very strong structure and powerful supports that will ensure the safety of passengers even in the event of a tsunami.
3. Miskhor (Russia)
(Russia) took its place of honor as the road with the longest unsupported span, which is 2 kilometers. Miskhor leads to the top of Mount Ai-Petri, the absolute height of which is 1234 kilometers. The total length of the cable car is about 3 kilometers. The duration of the trip in trailers with a capacity of up to 35 people is only a quarter of an hour. During this time, tourists have a unique opportunity to admire the incredible beauty of Crimean nature. Those who have been here at least once will definitely want to return here to ride the funicular and get to one of the most significant mountains of Crimea.
2. Zhangjiajie (China)
Or “Road to Heaven” (China) is one of the ten longest in the world, whose length exceeds seven kilometers. It was located in the same national park. The cable car leads to the highest point of the local peak - Tianmen. The highest cave in the world is located here, which is called the “Heavenly Gate”. The top of the mountain is shrouded in a thick curtain of clouds, which is why it got its unofficial name “Road to Heaven.” The path to the top starts right from the center of the Chinese city.
1. Teleferico de Merida (Venizuela)
(Venizuela) - the longest cable car. It was located in Merida. Its length exceeds 12 kilometers, which is absolute indicator. In total, Teleferico de Merida includes four sections and leads to the top of Espejo, the highest point of which is located at an altitude of 4765 meters. Total time The trip by cable car is about a couple of hours. The windows of the funicular offer incredibly picturesque panoramic views of the city. The funicular makes several stops, giving travelers the opportunity to stroll along the mountain. Due to the rapid ascent and large differences in altitude and pressure, tourists should take into account that this can lead to poor health.
