This unusual means of transport, built in 1913, by the swiss company Von Roy, was opened in 1915. Its activity was interrupted, however, during the Civil War. The present installations were opened in 1983 and the old wooden carriages were replaced with metal ones with a capacity of 70 people. The 3 minute trip, with a climb of 226 metres, allows the passenger to contemplate the beautiful city panorama, as well as to enjoy one of the most frequented recreational sites in Bilbao at weekends: Mount Artxanda. Here you have some of the best known restaurants and grills in Bilbao, as well as the Artxanda Sports Centre.
