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.
