Yerevan Zipline Airlines is a zipline ride across the Hrazdan Gorge, launched from the Arabkir district at 114/1 Papazyan Street in Yerevan, Armenia. The single line runs about 870 m and passes beneath a road bridge spanning the gorge, giving riders a view of the river canyon and the city's northern suburbs. It is a passive, gravity-driven activity rather than a technical sport, so no prior experience is needed and the fitness barrier is minimal. Visitors are clipped into a harness by the operating crew, travel the line in a single ride, and are met at the landing platform. Age and weight limits are set by the operator and should be confirmed when booking, since they are not published in the listing data used here. Participants need closed shoes, and long hair should be tied back so it stays clear of the harness and trolley. Loose items such as phones and sunglasses are best secured or left with a companion before the ride. Harnesses and helmets are supplied by the operator, which is standard for commercial ziplines of this type. The listed price is AMD 14,000 (about $38.60) per ride, while another listing quotes AMD 10,000-15,000, so the figure can vary by season or package. Opening hours are given as daily 10:30-18:30 by absolutearmenia.com. Large groups are asked to call +374 43 409090 in advance. No specific certification or rescue plan is published in the sources consulted; as with any commercial zipline, a pre-ride safety briefing is normally delivered on the platform, and visitors can ask the crew about evacuation procedures before riding. The best season runs from May to October, when the weather is dry and the gorge is clear. Strong wind, rain or storms can pause operations, and winter closures are possible, so checking ahead is sensible. The site is within the Yerevan urban area, which makes it an easy add-on to a city sightseeing day, and it is far quicker to reach than the zipline parks in the mountains of northern Armenia. Because the ride is short, most visitors pair it with other activities nearby.
