Starý Smokovec–Hrebienok funicular

The funicular railway stretches across 1,937 meters through the High Tatras mountains, connecting Starý Smokovec village with the Hrebienok recreational area.

Established in 1908, the funicular underwent substantial renovations in 1967, increasing passenger capacity from 45 to 130 people per car.

The funicular serves as a gateway to the Tatry Ice Master sculpting events and winter sports activities that define the regional mountain culture.

Operating year-round, the funicular carries 1,600 passengers per hour at a speed of 10 meters per second, with a journey time of 4.5 minutes.

The system features a single track with a passing loop, utilizing two cars manufactured by Swiss company Garaventa in collaboration with Austrian firm Doppelmayr.
