The cableway has been constructed as a circulating two-section system with detachable double-seats. The capacity is 250 persons per hour at a speed of 2.5m/s. The ride from Pec pod Sněžkou (890 m) station to Růžová hora (1354m) takes 11 minutes (1560m distance) and up to Sněžka 13.5 minutes (1967m distance). Over 50 years of operation the contribution of the cableway to environmental protection in this area has been proven. That is why intensive preparations for construction of a new cableway are under way at present.
