The Babadag Cable Car is a modern gondola system that takes visitors from Ölüdeniz (226 m) up to Babadag Mountain, reaching elevations of 1200 m, 1700 m, and via chairlift up to 1900 m. Opened in 2021, it offers spectacular panoramic views of the Blue Lagoon, Mediterranean coastline, and rugged cliffs. Multiple scenic stations feature restaurants, viewing platforms, a chairlift, open-air theatre, and the famous paragliding launch site
The gondola ride takes about 16 minutes to reach the 1700‑metre station; the chairlift to 1800 m takes another 5–10 minutes
Stations are open year‑round, with higher elevations (1700 m+, chairlift) occasionally closed in winter. Opening hours run roughly 08:00–22:00 in summer.
Yes, the gondola stations and main platforms at 1200 m and 1700 m are wheelchair and stroller-friendly, with elevators, ramps, and wide entry points. However, the chairlift to 1800 m may not be suitable.
Wear comfortable shoes and bring a light jacket, especially in the evening. Even in summer, the temperature can be significantly cooler at higher elevations. Sunglasses and a camera are must-haves!
