AMAZING View from Wings of Tatev | Tatev Cable Car Ride in Armenia | Armenia Country
Показать описание
Wings of Tatev is the longest reversible cable car in the world, stretching almost six kilometers between Halidzor and the Tatev monastery in Armenia.
The ride takes about 12 minutes and travels over the deep Vorotan River Gorge, offering unsurpassed views of the landscape as you approach the monastery, which was built around 800 AD, and sits perched on a large plateau at the edge of a cliff over the stunning gorge. The cable car was built as part of the Initiatives for Development of Armenia (IDeA), with all revenue invested into the restoration of the monastery.
Wings of Tatev aerial tramway is located in Syunik region, 250 km to the south of Yerevan. Total ride time from Halidzor station to Tatev monastery is about 12 minutes; a much shorter trip than the 40-minute ride along the steep serpentine road that follows the Vorotan gorge. Flying over the gorge, the aerial tramway cabin reaches its maximum height of 320 meters. When the first cabin reaches the Tatev station, the second one arrives at the Halidzor station. After the Wings are reloaded, the movement starts again in the opposite direction. Each cabin accommodates 30 passengers and one steward. The ropeway can accommodate about 240 passengers per hour. Powerful pillars divide the ropeway into four sections. The longest section is 2.7 km and overlooks the Tatev monastic complex.
