Fuente Dé cable car

The Fuente Dé cable car system spans 1,450 meters across the Cantabrian mountains, connecting the base station at 1,090 meters to the upper terminal at 1,850 meters elevation.

Engineer José Calavera Ruiz and architect Ángel Hernández Morales designed this transportation system, which opened its doors to the public on August 21, 1966.

The cable car emerged from José Antonio Odriozola's vision, former president of the Spanish Mountaineering Federation, to connect visitors with the Picos de Europa mountains.

The cable car operates daily with varying schedules between seasons, transporting up to 20 passengers per cabin from the lower to upper station in under four minutes.

This aerial lift holds the record as Europe's longest single-span system, ascending 753 meters vertically while offering access to numerous mountain trails.
