The most valuable investment of the municipality of Cajetina, the Gold Gondola Zlatibor, was solemnly put into operation yesterday with a big ceremony, as befits such an important project. The visit of the President of the Republic of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, several ministers, the Secretary of State, the Ambassador of the French Republic, representatives of the municipal government, contractors, all participants in the project and other friends of Zlatibor and the municipality of Čajetina speaks volumes about its importance. Even the winter atmosphere with extremely low temperatures and a real snowstorm did not prevent a large number of people from wanting to attend this ceremony. After the welcome speeches, plays, speeches by the President of the Municipality of Cajetina, Milan Stamatovic and the President of the Republic of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic, who then officially launched the Zlatibor Gold Gondola with his first ride, all those present were invited to go by gondola ride and enjoy the magical winter ambience. The management of the municipality of Cajetina and the PE "Gold Gondola Zlatibor" have not forgotten the great contribution of their fellow citizens who participated in the past years and helped the realization of this project by permanently providing them with a preferential ticket price.

The Zlatibor gondola, the biggest and the most valuable investment of the Municipality of Cajetina ever, was successfully put into operation today.Today's cold Zlatibor morning dispelled all the doubt, uncertainty and anticipation that had been spent in recent days together with the first snow of this year. With the recognizable sound of the siren, the cables started lowering the first gondolas from the middle station, ready to receive passengers who have been patiently waiting in line since the early morning hours to grab their piece of Zlatibor's history. A large number of journalist teams waited for the opportunity for their exclusive story directly. Despite the large deposits of snow that formed during the night, but also the extremely low night temperatures that made it difficult to start the installation, the gondola workers managed to overcome all obstacles and the long-awaited attraction could start. After receiving the passengers and leaving the starting station, the gondola cabin accelerates by driving passengers towards the Tornik Hotel, providing passengers with a panoramic view of the entire resort. Grabbing the route to the intermediate station, passengers will enjoy the beautiful landscape of Ribnica Lake in winter, and then comes the last, steepest stage of the road, climb to the top Tornik and pass through the foggy winter veil and frozen pines along the entire route and a view no one can remain indifferent. Because of that, passengers do not have the feeling that the ride to the roof of Zlatibor takes about 30 minutes. With the first steps of this long-announced mega installation, Zlatibor is writing another far more important page in its history. As of today, it will be written in the Guinness Book of Records that the Gold Gondola Zlatibor is currently the longest panoramic gondola in the world, removing the Chinese gondola Tianmen Shun from the throne, exceeding its route by as much as 1.6 km. This fact, in addition to the enthronement of Zlatibor on the tourist map of Europe, will greatly contribute to the affirmation of Serbia and its overall tourist potential.
