Cable Car in Sarajevo

Mount Trebević is located south of Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia-Herzegovina. Home to recreation and winter sport areas, the best way of reaching the top is by using the Trebević Cable Car. The cable car was reopened in 2018 after being out of action for several years following its destruction in the Bosnian War. Since the end of 2021, the stations at the bottom and top have been protected by a SecuriFire fire alarm system from Securiton.

The Trebević Cable Car leads from the centre of Sarajevo up to the top of Mount Trebević. The cable car was opened in 1959, destroyed during the Bosnian War (1992-1995), rebuilt in 2017 and put back into operation in 2018. It played an important role during the Winter Olympics of 1984, as it offered access from the city to the competition areas on Mount Trebević. The route was reopened on 6 April 2018 – Sarajevo’s independence day and also the 26th anniversary of the start of the siege of Sarajevo. The 2.1 kilometre route leads from the bottom station in the district of Bistrik in Sarajevo (583 MASL) to the top station near the Olympic bobsleigh run on Vidikovac peak (1,160 MASL) on Mount Trebević.

Reliable fire protection
The new cable car has 33 cabins with space for ten passengers each, corresponding to a capacity of 1,200 passengers per hour. In contrast to the old cable car – which needed 12 minutes from the bottom station to Vidikovac – the new car needs only 7 minutes 15 seconds.
Since the end of 2021, the SecuriFire addressable fire alarm system from Securiton has been monitoring the bottom and top stations for possible fires. Long-standing local Securiton partner Supernova d.o.o. was responsible for installation and maintenance of the system. With the highest technology standards, the SecuriFire fire alarm system offers a reassuring sense of safety. It can be adapted exactly to local conditions thanks to its outstanding flexibility. SecuriFire is on hand to warn businesses in the event of fire. It detects a fire early in its incipient stage, can immediately alert the emergency services and/or activate the fire extinguishing systems.
