RussiaWhat to Expect and Is It Worth Visiting
Pyatigorsk cable car is one of the most exciting and relatively affordable entertainment in Pyatigorsk. If you have not been on cable cars before, then the place is simply a must-visit, especially with children. The ascent takes a few minutes to a height of 993 meters above sea level, from the level of the cable car station the drop is about 400 meters.
The cable car leads to the top of Mount Mashuk. When you go upstairs, you will discover wonderful views from one of several viewing platforms. Here is the famous site with pointers to the cities of Russia and the world. And upstairs you can eat in a cafe. You can also go back down by cable car, or on foot along the trail, which will take you directly to the tourist area of the city.
Unfortunately, it is objectively worth saying that the cable car, although in good condition, is outdated. Only two large cabins with a capacity of up to 20 people are carried, and high season and good weather have a chance to see nothing while driving. Therefore, it makes sense to try to get into the booth first and take a place at the window.
