Mishor AI Petri certainly stands out among the most prominent attractions of Crimea; it was opened in 1988. It originates in the foothills of the picturesque village of Mishor and takes passengers to the top of Ai-Petri. The cable car is 2,980 meters long. The intermediate station is situated at an altitude of 391 meters, and the terminal station is found at an altitude of 1,153 meters.
Construction of the cable car began in 1967; the original project needed substantial amendments. The country through which Mishor Ai Petri passes is incredibly picturesque and complex at the same time; it was very difficult to organize a cableway along high cliffs. The cable car runs two cabins, each of which can accommodate 35 people.
It would take about 15 minutes to get from the bottom to the terminal station, during which passengers will have an opportunity to appreciate beauty of the surrounding landscapes in full. The top of Mount Ai Petri is equipped with magnificent viewing platforms. These amazing places are very popular among guests of the Crimea. Not everyone knows that Miskhor Ai Petri is mentioned in Guinness World Records. Span between its middle and upper station is the world's longest unsupported span, with a length of more than 2 kilometers.
