Funicular (rope-way)

Your “ascend” to the top of Mount Teghenis will be quick and comfortable - the rope-way chair lift will take you there in about 40 minutes. Tsakhkadzor funicular was constructed by "Leitner" Italian company (2004-2008). The first lift (1137m., carrying capacity – 1200 men/hour) is a 4-seater chair lift; the second is 1458m. long (800 men/hour). The third lift’s length is 1624m. with 800 men/hour capacity. The fourth one is 926m. long, transporting 800 men in an hour. The second, third and fourth are 2-seater lifts. Skiers and snowboarders can easily switch from one lift to another, without taking off their kit, with help of handy platter pulls.

When switching lifts, you can enjoy some tea or coffee at the cafes, located by the rope-way. There you can also hire ski equipment and other sports facilities. The special, fifth lift (1030m., 800 men/hour), has been recently put into service for those, who haven’t mastered the sticks yet. Its warm chairs guarantee full comfort during lifting. Well-tended pistes of any complicacy start from the top of Teghenis. The total path length is over 30km.

The non-stop ski piste makes 6800m. Professional rescue team works at the territory.
