Detachable-cabin cableway

History

This cableway, the youngest in the Tatras, was first conceived of in connection with the Tatras' hosting of the World Championships in Skiing in 1970. The relatively limited total capacity of the large-cabin cableway to Skalnate Pleso led planners to initiate work in the late 1960s on a second transport system between Tatranska Lomnica and Skalnate Pleso. The original continous two-cable system (as opposed to the single cable system used today), delivered by the Transporta Chrudim company, started test runs between 12 and 16 March 1973, and was opened for operation on 15 June 1976. This particular technology was completely liquidated in 1993, and at the same time replaced with new equipment from the Girak company.

Present

The new detachable-cabin cableway began operation on the original Tatranska Lomnica-Start-Skalnate Pleso line on 4 August 1995. With an hourly capacity of 900 passengers, we can cover even the peak periods of travel to Skalnate Pleso.

Technical specifications.

The advantage of this cableway, with its detachable cabins, is that it runs continuously. Stations offer WCs, shops, refreshments, exchange services and accommodations and restaurants.
