Solina Cableway, Gondola lift in Solina, Poland
The Solina Cableway is a gondola lift in Solina, Poland, that connects the lower Plasza station to the upper station on Jawor Mountain. Its dark, glossy cabins, each with large tinted windows, hang from a thick grey metal arm and cable, and they glide above a wide body of water held back by a long curved dam lined with trees.
The cableway was built in just four weeks in late 2021 and opened to the public on 1 July 2022. In early October 2025, it carried its two millionth passenger, a sign of its rapid popularity.
At the lower station, a small exhibition introduces the wildlife, vanished villages, and rivers of the Bieszczady region, giving context to the landscape you see from the cabin. Local families often ride up on summer weekends, and the cableway has become a familiar meeting point in the area.
The ride is short and smooth, with level access at both stations that makes boarding easy for everyone. Wear comfortable shoes if you plan to walk around the upper station, and bring a light jacket, as the air can feel cooler up there.
At its highest point, the cabin floats 335 feet (102 meters) above the ground, thanks to a support tower that is the tallest of its kind in Poland. The upper station also has a 164-foot (50-meter) viewing tower with a short glass-floored walkway that extends beyond the terrace.
