Gold Gondola is a nine-kilometre aerial ride from the centre of Zlatibor to the Tornik ski centre, and its operator bills it as the longest panoramic gondola of its kind. The journey takes about 25 minutes, with an intermediate station on the shore of Lake Ribnica, and the cabins can carry 1,200 passengers an hour over meadows, pine woods and villages. Stop off at the lake for workshops and summer events such as open-air cinema and the Gondola Ethno Vibe Festival, then carry on to Tornik. It runs in winter and summer, so ride up to ski or hike.
