Ashgabat Cable Car, Aerial tramway in Kopet-Dag mountains, Turkmenistan.
The Ashgabat Cable Car is an aerial tramway that connects the capital to a mountain location and carries passengers upward over an extended distance. The system consists of multiple cabins that operate on a continuous basis for different purposes.
This facility was built by a French company and received significant attention at its opening. The project was part of infrastructure development in the region during that period.
The summit area draws people seeking to escape the city and experience the mountains firsthand. Visitors gather there to enjoy views and take breaks from the heat below.
The ride takes you from the city up to a mountain where facilities for relaxation and dining are available. Plan your visit for times when it is not too hot, as the sun can be very intense in this region.
The system has safety features that activate automatically during strong winds to prevent problems. The technology was designed to operate reliably even under difficult conditions.
