Cable Car Rides

A Way to Get to the Heart of the High Tatras

Chairlifts and gondola lifts are an integral part of the Tatra experience

They provide access to views and locations that would otherwise be accessible only to experienced hikers. Lomnický štít, at an elevation of 2,634 m above sea level, is accessible by gondola from Tatranská Lomnica, Hrebienok above Starý Smokovec with a panoramic view of the High Tatras, and Štart above Tatranská Lomnica as the gateway to high-mountain terrain—each cable car offers a different perspective on the region and a different kind of experience.

The cable cars are the ideal solution for families with children, seniors, and anyone who wants to see the Tatras from above without a strenuous hike.

Current Operations and Hours of Operation

The operation of the cable cars depends on the weather, their technical condition, and the season—some cable cars may be temporarily out of service due to strong winds or technical maintenance. We recommend checking the current status directly with the operator before your visit.

Pricing and Ticket Availability

Ticket prices may vary depending on the season, type of ride, and the visitor’s age. During peak season, we recommend purchasing tickets online in advance—lines at the ticket counters can be several hours long on busy days.

Weather at the summit

The temperature on Lomnický štít can be as much as 15 °C lower than in the valley, and the wind can be significantly stronger. Before heading out, check the weather forecast for the summit itself.
