Cable car “Wings of Tatev”: soaring over Syunik
“Wings of Tatev” is not just a cable car, but a unique engineering project leading to the natural and historical treasures of Syunik , in the south of Armenia. It is the longest reversible cable car in the world (5.7 km), for which it is listed in the Guinness Book of Records .
Built in just 10 months, it became the shortest, most picturesque and breathtaking route to Tatev Monastery , a pearl of medieval architecture.
The purpose of creating a cable car:
- Make Tatev Monastery more accessible: Before the construction of the road, it was difficult to reach, which limited the number of tourists and prevented its recognition as a world cultural heritage.
- Regional development: The cable car has stimulated infrastructure growth in Syunik, creating new jobs and business opportunities.
Travel by cable car:
- Breathtaking view: The cabin offers panoramic views of the deep gorge of the Vorotan River , as well as ancient cave settlements, hermitages, healing springs and Neanderthal sites .
- Connection of villages: The road connects the village of Halidzor (near the Yerevan highway) with Tatev , located near the monastery.
- Unique attractions: In addition to the gorge, tourists can see the swinging column of Gavazan – an amazing architectural monument.
Since the opening of the Wings of Tatev cable car, more than 250,000 people have used it.
“Wings of Tatev” is not just a transport, but a real adventure that will allow you to:
- Get in touch with the history and culture of Armenia.
- See the beauty of Syunik.
- Experience unforgettable emotions.

The 500-meter descent into the Vorotan canyon will take your breath away with views of the gorge.
Impregnable stronghold:
- Strategic significance: The inaccessibility of the monastery is not accidental. In the Middle Ages, it served not only as a religious center , but also as a political stronghold of the Principality of Syunik .
- Residence of the Metropolitan: Here was the residence of the Metropolitan of Syunik, and the monastery’s possessions included vast lands, craft workshops and hundreds of villages from which taxes were levied.
Mysteries about the origin of the name:
- Saint Eustathius: According to one legend, the monastery was named after Saint Eustathius , a disciple of the Apostle Thaddeus, who suffered martyrdom for his faith.
- “Tatev” – “give wings”: From Armenian “tatev” is translated as “give wings.” The monastery seemed to be soaring in the sky, as if it could really break away from the rock and take off.
- The architect and his dream: According to legend, the architect who built Tatev threw himself into the abyss after completing the construction, exclaiming: “Lights, Surb, ta tev!”, which means “Holy Spirit, give me wings!”
- Liberation from sins: According to another belief, the soul that steps into the walls of the temple gains wings, throwing off the burden of sins and suffering.
Tatev Monastery is not just an architectural monument, it is a place where history comes to life, and the grandeur of the past captivates the spirit.
At the end of our adventures, we will go to Yeghegis, where we will spend the night enjoying the comfort and hospitality of this beautiful place.
