It connects two villages with one intermediate station: Halidzor and Tatev, located near the monastery. The maximum height is 360 m above the gorge, from where a magnificent landscape opens up.
A one-way ticket costs 3.000 drams, and a two-way ticket costs 4.000 drams. By the way, for residents of the surrounding villages, the fare is 500 drams, but for those who use the cable car to get to their place of work, the fare is completely free.
And at the top station of the cable car there is a cozy restaurant - you can eat tasty and relatively inexpensive.
