How to get to Montserrat by cable car?
Montserrat’s cable car (Aeri), which entered into service in 1930, is the quickest way to reach the sanctuary. At an average speed of 5 metres per second, the cable car covers the 1,350-metre journey comfortably, scaling gradients of up to 45%, in just 5 minutes. During the journey, passengers can have splendid views of the beautiful scenery, and glimpse part of the magnificent Monumental Rosary.
