This public-private partnership is set to officially launch the Project on October 16 with the grand opening of the $13 million aerial tramway. Under construction since last fall, this 3.5-mile tramway will link Armenia’s main regional highway to the village of Tatev and allow visitors to bypass a 90-minute drive in and out of the rocky Vorotan River Gorge to reach the monastery.
