Serving since 1963 as Turkey’s first cable car line, Bursa Cable Car (Teleferik) is one of the world’s longest continuous cable car lines with a length of 9 kilometers. Starting from the Teferrüç station in the Yıldırım district and extending to the Uludağ Hotels Zone, this modern line offers visitors an unforgettable scenic journey above pine forests and the Bursa city landscape.

Highlights & Experiences via Cable Car

Panoramic Journey and Cabin Comfort

The journey, carried out in spacious and modern 8-person panoramic cabins, begins by gliding from the city toward the steep slopes of Uludağ. Throughout the trip, you can watch a bird’s-eye view of Bursa and photograph the changing nature cover and unique pine forests as you ascend. It offers safe and comfortable transportation in both summer and winter months.

Stations: Kadıyayla, Sarıalan, and Hotels Zone

There are 3 main stations along the cable car line. Kadıyayla, the first stop, offers a quiet atmosphere for those who wish to go nature hiking. The second stop, Sarıalan, is the favorite break spot for both local and foreign guests with its picnic areas, meat restaurants, and famous “cook-your-own” (kendin pişir kendin ye) venues. The final stop, Kurbağakaya (Hotels Zone), provides direct access to the peak for skiing in winter, and trekking or enjoying fresh mountain air in summer.

Dining & Spending Time in Nature

In the authentic cafes located at the stations, you can enjoy the view accompanied by hot chocolate or Turkish coffee. Especially at the Sarıalan station restaurants, you can dine in the famous mountain air or grab quick snacks from the in-station cafes.
