Cableway in Tsaghkadzor, Aerial tramway in Tsaghkadzor, Armenia
The Tsaghkadzor cableway is a cable transport system with five stations along the eastern face of Mount Teghenis, connecting elevations from roughly 1966 to 2819 meters. The system provides access to multiple ski runs and outdoor areas spread across different altitude levels.
The cableway has operated in Tsaghkadzor since 1967. Between 2004 and 2007 the Swiss-Italian company LEITNER replaced it entirely with a new system, and five stations and ski runs of about 30 km were built. The second station covers 1.4 km and climbs 276 m from 1961 to 2234 m.
The cableway serves a resort town that has been Armenia's centre for tourism and alpine skiing since the lift opened in 1967. Its five stations and roughly 30 km of pistes make it the working backbone of that winter-sport culture, and it runs year-round, so the same line carries skiers and summer visitors.
The chairlift runs year-round on the eastern slope of Mount Teghenis, between 1966 and 2819 metres. The second station's 1.4 km section takes 19 minutes and 7 seconds at an average 4.4 km/h, climbing 276 metres. Dress for the upper station, where conditions differ from the base.
The second station sits at 2,234 metres after a 1.4 km ride that takes 19 minutes and 7 seconds at an average 4.4 km/h, climbing 276 metres. The five stations and roughly 30 km of pistes date from the 2004–2007 rebuild by the Swiss-Italian firm LEITNER, which replaced the 1967 line.
