2024: Launch of the high-altitude cable car "Orbit"
The new high-altitude cable car of the Orbita gondola type was put into operation at the Arkhyz all-season resort in the Karachay-Cherkess Republic. The solemn technical launch of the facility took place on September 27, 2024 with the participation of representatives of federal and regional authorities.
Orbita became one of seven infrastructure facilities commissioned by the Кавказ.РФ Development Institute after the transfer of the resort to the Mountain Peaks management company.
The Deputy Minister of Economic Development Russia Sergei Nazarov , together with the Chairman of the Government of the KCR Murat Argunov, the executive director of Кавказ.РФ Khasan Timizhev and the director of the resort Roman Kiranchuk, assessed the technical readiness of the cable car, climbing it to the Abishira-Akhuba ridge to an altitude of 3016 meters above sea level.
The length of the "Orbit" is 2376 meters, and its throughput reaches 1200 people per hour. A feature of the new cable car is one of the longest unsupported spans in Russia - 780 meters. Ten-seater gondolas will run along the route, two of which are equipped with a glass floor for panoramic viewing.
Hasan Timizhev noted that thanks to the unique technical characteristics of Orbit, tourists will be able to travel to the most picturesque places in Arkhyz. From the terminus of the cable car, access to the ecological trail leading to Dinnika Peak (3175 m), as well as to the route passing through Fedoseyev Pass to the cascade of mountain blue lakes, known as the "Blue Necklace" of Arkhyz, opens.
The general director of the resort, Roman Kiranchuk, said that after the completion of the technical run-in, approximately from mid-October 2024, the Orbita cable car will be open to tourists. [1]
