Chairlift in Prague Zoo, Aerial lift in Prague Zoo, Czechia
The Chairlift in Prague Zoo connects the lower and upper sections of the zoo grounds, allowing visitors to travel between different elevation levels without walking up steep paths. The cable system operates between two stations positioned across the zoo's hilly terrain.
The chairlift opened in 1977 as a transport solution within the zoo's grounds. Technical difficulties caused a closure until 1981, when the Prague Public Transit Company took over operations and restored service.
The Prague Zoo chairlift represents an integration of transportation infrastructure within a zoological setting, making exhibits more accessible to visitors.
Wear comfortable shoes since the zoo terrain is hilly and walking paths vary in steepness depending on your direction. The ride itself provides good views of the grounds and serves as a welcome shortcut when exploring the zoo.
The aerial lift system covers a horizontal distance of 105.9 meters with a 50.1-meter elevation change between stations at a 28-degree gradient.
