The Parnitha Funitel on Mount Parnitha is the successor of an
aerial tramway constructed in the 1970s to serve Casino Mont Parnes, the most popular
casino in the
Athens area, located on one of the peaks of Mount
Parnitha. Also, it was a common way for
Athenians to reach on the peak for family day trips, a popular habit even today.
However, since April 2006, a newly built
funitel, replacing the older one, was launched and it continues serving its previous purposes. Note, that it was not only a renovation, but a full construction on the place where the older funitel installation once used to be.
