The Chernel István Ski and Tourism Cluster is coordinating the Night of Chairlifts for the ninth time, writes the organization’s website. BKV (public transport operator in Budapest) is also joining the event with the Zugliget Chairlift.
The Zugliget Chairlift awaits hikers again after a long technical renovation. Hungary’s first passenger transport ropeway is 1,040 meters long and the difference in elevation between its two stations is 262 meters.
It takes you up to János Hill, the highest peak of the capital, while the trip towards the valley station offers a unique view of Budapest.
