Yerevan Zipline: Fly Under the Bridge on Armenia’s Fastest Zipline
Clip in, lean forward and cross the Hrazdan gorge at speeds up to 140 km/h. Yerevan’s zipline—Armenia’s longest and the only one to run beneath a bridge—pairs raw speed with tight logistics for a compact, unforgettable ride.
The Experience
Before You Go
Arrive early for briefing
Allow 20–30 minutes before your scheduled run to complete paperwork, get fitted and hear safety instructions.
Dress for speed
Wear closed-toe shoes and close-fitting clothing; loose items can be unsafe and won’t make good footage.
Expect wind delays
High winds can pause operations—book morning slots for calmer conditions and clearer views.
Rent a camera mount
If you want hands-free footage, rent the GoPro option at the site rather than juggling a phone.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems
- •Walk the riverbank near the landing point for quieter views of the bridge and canyon.
- •Visit a nearby café after your ride to sample Armenian coffee and gata pastry—local flavors feel earned after the adrenaline rush.
Wildlife
- •Common kestrels hovering over the gorge
- •Eurasian magpies on the canyon edges
Conservation Note
Operators limit daily throughput and follow safety protocols to minimize impact on the canyon; visitors are asked to pack out waste and avoid disturbing cliffside vegetation.
The Hrazdan gorge has been a transport corridor since Soviet infrastructure projects reshaped Yerevan; the bridge above the zipline is a visible relic of mid-20th-century engineering.
