It was inaugurated in 1968, and was called the Cable Car. At its opening, it was the largest tramway in the

world, built by the Swiss company Garaventa. It carries passengers from the Base Camp at 6,200 feet (1,889m) elevation to High Camp at 8,200 feet (2,499m) elevation. The tram operates year-round.
