Just over a year after the long-awaited reopening of the cable car outside Zagreb, a new one has been unveiled on the slopes of Gorski kotar, the mountainous region between Karlovac and Rijeka west of the capital.

Overseen by the Goranski Sports Centre in Delnice, the new facility serves the nearby ski resort of Platak.

The four-seater cable car, 800 metres long and comprising 114 chairs, opens today, January 29, in time for the busiest period of the skiing season.

Gorski kotar is the most forested area of Croatia, attracting hikers, mountaineers and botanists due to the varieties of rare Alpine flowers in the vicinity. The region is also known as Croatia's Switzerland.
