The Kotor-Lovćen cable car will be open for commercial rides on August 14th, starting at 10 a.m.
– One of the most important Montenegrin tourism infrastructure projects, which has been awaited for almost a century, has come to an end, one year and a month after the laying of the foundation stone, which we consider to be an exceptional success considering the complexity of the entire process – it was announced from the Žičara Kotor company – Hunted.
As they stated, for a one-way cable car ride for adults, it is necessary to allocate 13 euros, while the price of a return ticket is 23 euros. The prices of children’s tickets are significantly lower, so a cable car ride in one direction costs 7 euros, or 12 euros for both directions. Free rides are provided for children under the age of two. Benefits are also defined for PWDs, so the price of a one-way ticket will be 7 euros, or 12 euros for both directions.
– Thanks to the strategic partnership with the Montenegrin Commercial Bank, which provided financial support for the construction of the Kotor – Lovćen cable car, their clients will be able to enjoy discounts when buying tickets. Also, thanks to the trust and support that Mastercard gave to the project through the partnership, significant discounts were provided for the visitors of the cable car – they pointed out from Žičara.
Owners of Mastercard payment cards in the period from the opening of the Cable Car until September 15th can obtain a price reduction in the amount of 5 euros for each purchased ticket. Discounts are valid for payments with Mastercard payment cards issued by all banks in Montenegro, Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, regardless of card type. The number of rides paid for with the same Mastercard debit card is not limited, that is, the card user has the right to a reduction in the ticket price, even if he rides the cable car more than once during the campaign period.
The company expressed its gratitude to Prime Minister Dritan Abazović, without whose involvement and the help of his team this project would not have been completed.
– What we can proudly point out is that Montenegro will soon have a cable car with a view of one of the most beautiful bays in the world, the construction of which, as well as safety checks and protocols, correspond to the highest world standards – they pointed out from Žičara.
We remind you that the Kotor – Lovćen cable car project is being implemented by the Novi Volvox – Leitner consortium on the basis of a concession agreement signed in December 2021, shortly after that, on July 12th, 2022, the foundation stone was laid.
The Žičara route starts from Dub, which is located in the territory of the municipality of Kotor, and leads to the location of Kuk on the Lovćen mountain, at an altitude of 1,348 m above sea level. The projected capacity is 48 gondolas at the level of 1,200 passengers per hour, while the travel time from Dub station to Kuk station is less than 11 minutes.
