Starting from May 1, the Wings of Tatev will serve passengers on Mondays 10–11:30 am and 4:30–6 pm (maintenance work to be carried out 11:30 am – 4:30 pm) and 10 am to 6 pm the remaining days of the week.
The National Competitiveness Foundation of Armenia states that the aerial tramway is in good condition and is fully prepared to welcome visitors.
The Wings of Tatev is a newly constructed aerial tramway linking the villages of Halidzor and Tatev on opposite sides of the Vorotan River Gorge. It has two cabins carrying up to 25 passengers each. A large electric motor located at the bottom of the tramway station pulls each of the two cabins in opposite directions such that they pass each other midway on the cable span. While one cabin arrives at Tatev station, the other arrives at the opposite end, at Halidzor, according to the Tatev Revival Project website.
Wings of Tatev is a double-reversible aerial tramway. It spans 5.7 kilometers in a single journey lasting approximately 11 minutes, gliding up to 330 meters above the Vorotan River Gorge.
