Parnitha Cable car - Athens Greece (27/01/13)

Mount Parnitha is a densely forested mountain range north of Athens, the highest on the peninsula of Attika, with an elevation of 1413 m and a summit known as Karavola. Much of the mountain is designated a national park, and is a protected habitat for wildfowl, first created in 1961. The summit is located about 30 km north of Athens, while the mountain covers approximately 250 km² of land. Regency Casino Mont Parnes is located near the top of the mountain. The construction of a brand new, modern cable car was included within the framework of the complete renovation project of the Regency Casino Mont Parnes complex, and was undertaken by DOPPELMAYR of Austria -- the largest funicular manufacturer in the world with over 8,000 installations in 5 continents. With a budget which exceeded € 12 million the new Parnitha funicular is truly a technological achievement. It rests on five pillars, has 20 cabins (Swiss built by CWA) of continuous flow and may transport over 2,500 persons per hour, while it may operate even with winds of 120km -- which basically means that it never stops!
