The Journey Begins
Your adventure starts at the base station. The cabins are modern and comfortable, designed to ensure safety while
maximizing the viewing experience. The ground slowly falls away, and you find yourself suspended in mid-air, gliding
smoothly above the treetops.
Ascending the Heights
As the cable car climbs higher, the panoramic views expand, revealing the stunning beauty of the Tsaghkadzor
landscape. The lush green forests, rolling hills, and, in winter, the pristine snow-covered slopes create a
picture-perfect backdrop. The higher you go, the more expansive the view becomes, offering a unique perspective on
the natural beauty of Armenia.
Reaching the Summit
Upon reaching the top station, located at an altitude of approximately 2,819 meters (9,249 feet), the adventure
continues. In winter, the snow-covered landscape glistens under the sun, while in summer, the lush greenery and
wildflowers create a vibrant tableau.
Activities at the Summit
The adventure doesn't end at the top. The summit area offers a range of activities to suit all interests. For
adrenaline junkies, there are opportunities for skiing and snowboarding down well-groomed slopes during the winter
season. The resort's slopes cater to all skill levels, ensuring everyone can enjoy the thrill of speeding down the
mountain.
In the warmer months, the adventure takes on a different form. Hiking trails beckon you to explore the alpine
terrain, with paths that lead through meadows, forests, and up to even higher vantage points.
Scenic and Relaxing
After reaching the summit, you can unwind at one of the cozy cafes, enjoying some drinks and resting while taking in
the magnificent views. These spots offer a perfect place to relax and soak in the serene mountain atmosphere.
Best Time to Visit
While the cable car operates year-round, each season offers a different experience. Winter is ideal for snow sports,
