The Wings of Tatev cableway has once again been nominated for the prestigious international tourism award, World Travel Awards 2023, in the category of ‘World’s Leading Cable Car Ride 2023.’ The project previously won in this category in 2021. Now it is competing with cable cars from Bolivia, Brazil, Vietnam, Canada, New Zealand, the USA, and South Africa.

Wings of Tatev is the longest reversible cableway in the world. It was recorded in the Guinness Book of Records not only because of its length—5,752 meters—but also as the world’s only engineering structure of this scale built in just 10 months. The ropeway project was realized by the Austrian-Swiss Doppelmayr/Garaventa Group, an international manufacturer of ropeways.

On Monday, Wings of Tatev celebrated its 13th anniversary. Since its opening in 2010, the cableway has attracted more than 1,300,000 tourists.
