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.
- Cable cars depart every 15 minutes.
- Free parking is available for those reaching the cable car station by car.
