Israel Aereal Ropeway Masada BW 1.JPG

The Masada cableway is an aerial tramway at the ancient fortress of Masada, Israel. Its summit station is 33 metres above sea level, thereby making it the lowest aerial tramway in the world.

The cableway was built by the Karl Brändle company of Switzerland to carry people to the ruins at the top of the plateau. It has one aerial tramway support pillar and two cabins with a length of 900 metres and an elevation change of 290 metres.
