Trebević Cable Car
Trebevićka žičara
Opened in 1959, destroyed during the war, and rebuilt in 2018. The cable car takes about 10 minutes to climb from the Old Town to Mount Trebević at 1,160 meters.
The Trebević cable car departs from the Bistrik lower station, southeast of the Old Town, and climbs to the upper station at roughly 1,160 meters in about 9 minutes, with views over the Sarajevo valley the whole way. Mount Trebević was the bobsleigh and luge venue of the 1984 Winter Olympics. During the siege it became a Serb artillery position, the cable car was destroyed, and it did not reopen until 2018. At the top you'll find a viewing terrace, a café and forest trails. It is about a 15-minute walk down to the abandoned Olympic bobsleigh track. A round-trip ticket costs about 20 BAM. The cable car may be closed for maintenance on Mondays.
