Билет на канатную дорогу Пятигорска в одну сторону

Mount Mashuk is one of the most visited places by tourists and locals alike in Pyatigorsk, as well as a favorite holiday spot. At its summit stands a television tower, which is the dominant structure in the surrounding area. From the height of Mount Mashuk, a breathtaking panorama of the Caucasus foothills and the Greater Caucasus Range with Elbrus and Kazbek opens up, alongside a panoramic view of the city of Pyatigorsk and its surroundings. The height of Mount Mashuk is 993 meters above sea level. There are two ways to reach the top of Mount Mashuk – a long health path (terrenkur) and the cable car. Climbing up the health path is a challenging and lengthy exercise, even in good weather, as it winds almost all the way around the mountain, while the ascent on the cable car takes no more than 5 minutes. The cable car was built in 1971 using a unique support-free technology. It is a highly interesting exhibit of engineering solutions in itself and a visual aid for the action of the fundamental laws of physics. In just 2.5 to 3 minutes, passengers travel a distance of 964 meters. The cable car operates on the pendulum principle, where the cabins from the bottom and top depart simultaneously and meet right in the center, moving at the exact same speed. The capacity of a cabin is 20 people. Almost every tourist visiting Pyatigorsk and other cities of the Caucasian Mineral Waters takes home a photo of the cable car, even if they do not ride it to the top. The cable car is located on the 'main excursion route' of Pyatigorsk, leading to the famous Proval Lake, a must-visit for everyone coming to this region. Gagarin Boulevard passes under the cable car, connecting this resort area with the city's main roads and the locations of the most popular Pyatigorsk health resorts.
