The Parnitha Funitel on Mount Parnitha is the successor of an aerial tramway constructed in the 1970s to serve Regency Casino Mont Parnes, the most popular casino in the Athens area, located on one of the peaks of Mount Parnitha. Also, it was a common way for Athenians to reach on the peak for family day trips, a popular habit even today.
However, since April 2006, a newly built funitel, replacing the older one, was launched and it continues serving its previous purposes. Note, that it was not only a renovation, but a full construction on the place where the older funitel installation once used to be.
