The cable car in Moscow may soon successfully complement the city's transport infrastructure. Today, the funicular in the Vorobyovy Gory area is mainly used only by students attending a ski school. The authorities promise to radically change the situation by the opening of the 2018 Football World Cup.
Ropeway (Moscow, Sparrow Hills)
The history of the Moscow cable car begins in 1953, when it was built to service a ski jump. For more than sixty years, tourists have been enjoying picturesque landscapes with its help. Sparrow Hills have two parts of the park area - the upper and lower. Below, there are beautiful views of the foot of the hills and the river embankment. Climbing up, you can get to the panoramic observation deck. There are two ways to climb to the top: on foot or by funicular.
The cable car in Moscow has a lower landing point near the Vorobyovy Gory metro station. The upper one is the observation deck of Moscow State University, next to the ski jump. After an interesting walk, it is very convenient to go down using this design and transfer to the metro. In addition, the cable car in Moscow can serve as an excellent option for moving around in good weather, as it can be reached from the bottom up in less than ten minutes. In addition, you can get unforgettable pleasure from traveling along it, enjoying the excellent views of our capital.
Additional features of the funicular
The updated "cable car" will have transport, sightseeing and sports functions. While approaching the upper and lower landing points, be sure to smile. In this case, you will become the owner of your own interesting photograph, which you will receive after your arrival.
Having your own camera will allow you to take excellent shots of wonderful landscapes while traveling on the funicular. In the future, you will be able to admire photographs of the Moscow panorama for a long time. Surely tourists will get a lot of positive emotions from this. By the way, the funicular does not violate the ecological situation of the area. It is perfect for use in protected areas. It is relatively easy to build, and maintenance is minimal in both summer and winter.
Forward plans
In the future, the cable car in Moscow will become more extended and perfect. Its beginning will remain where it is now - to the left of the springboard. The route will approach the river pier andacross the Moscow River will reach the stadium "Luzhniki". The length of the cable car will increase from 340 meters to 737. The cabin will be closed. It will accommodate 10-15 people.
It is planned to make two stops on the route: one on the embankment, the second - next to the Luzhniki stadium. The intermediate station near the Moskva River will have a point where you can rent ski equipment. There are also plans to equip the premises of the museum. The investor company promised to complete the reconstruction of the cable car within five years.
