๏ปฟThe Zlatibor Gold Gondola Lift in Serbia is set to open next month and will take the crown as the worldโ€™s longest multi-stage gondola with a 5.5 mile slope length. Once in operation, the gondola will connect the center of Zlatibor with the ski center of Tornik, via Lake Ribniฤko, transporting 1,200 passengers every hour with a 25 minute travel time.

VIRTUAL 360ยฐ VIDEO TOUR:

Theย Zlatibor Gold Gondola Lift, the longest such panoramic lift in the world, is a new tourist attraction. At nine kilometers long, this state-of-the-art air route will connect the center of Zlatibor with the ski center of Tornik, via Lake Ribniฤko, where a stopover station will be located. The gondola lift will transport 1,200 passengers every hour and the journey will take about 25 minutes.

The longest gondola lift in the world.

Theย Zlatibor Gold Gondola Lift, at nine kilometers long, holds the record for the longest gondola lift in the world. The previous record was held by the Tianmen Shan cable car (7.4 km) in Zhangjiajie National Park in China, where the blockbuster movieย Avatarย was filmed, for which James Cameron won the Oscar for best film.

The liftโ€™s central point will be the stopover station at Lake Ribniฤko, where the New Zlatibor project is planned to be developed (high-class 200-acre tourist resort).

It is estimated that the lift will recoup its investment within 10 years, when Mount Zlatibor is expected to have become the most-visited tourist destination in Serbia and the surrounding region, with 10 m overnight stays and around 1 m visitors.

The whole of the gondolaโ€™s structure has been produced in cooperation with a renowned French manufacturing companyย Pomagalski, complying with the highest environmental standards. Adherence to the global ecological standards, which has been strictly maintained during construction, is in line with the Municipality ofย ฤŒajetinaโ€™sย aim to become the first ecological municipality in Serbia.

What theย Zlatibor Gold Gondola Liftย will offer skiers, picnickers, adventurers, day-trippers and all other visitors is a breath-taking view of Zlatibor.

Founder

Theย Zlatibor โ€œGold Gondolaโ€ย company whose core operation is public transport, was founded in 2015, upon the municipality of ฤŒajetinaโ€™s decision. Apart from generating revenue from its core business, the company also engaged in marketing activities.

Theย Zlatibor Gold Gondolaย project is worthwhile not only in terms of expanding the areaโ€™s current tourism offerย but also the existing investment plan. Serbiaโ€™s tourism project of the century is expected to breathe new life into the tertiary sector in the Zlatibor region, as well as western Serbia.
