LAO CAI (Biz Hub) — The world's longest three-rope cable car system was inaugurated in the northern province of Lao Cai yesterday to connect Muong Hoa Valley with Fansipan Mountain – the so-called "Roof of Indochina".

At the inaugural ceremony, representatives from Guinness World Records presented a certificate recognising the system as the world's longest three-rope cable car (6,292.5 metres).

The facility was also named the three-rope cable car system with the world's biggest height gap between its departure and arrival stations (1,410m).

It is able to carry up to 2,000 passengers per hour, with each cabin accommodating 35 people. The system shortens the travel time to the peak of Fansipan – the highest mountain in Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia at 3,143m.

It will now take 15 minutes, instead of two days of climbing. The project designer, Doppelmayr Garaventa Group, said that with the world's most modern three-rope system, the Fansipan cable car will withstand harsh weather, guaranteeing visitors' safety.

The system is expected to help boost the number of tourists to Sapa by 30 to 40 per cent every year and reach 3 million by 2020. It will also be the main tourism service in Sa Pa for the next few years.

At the inauguration, Deputy Prime Minister Hoang Trung Hai said the cable car system will help energise socio-economic development for Lao Cai and the entire northwestern region.

It will turn Sa Pa into a stronger magnet for domestic and foreign visitors. Viet Nam's Sun Group began construction on the cable car system in November 2013 with consultations from Doppelmayr Garaventa.

Are you sure? Longer than Malaysia's Skyway Cablecar ?


Experience South East Asia's longest and fastest cable car, spanning 3.38km of sheer ecstasy as your gondola travel through 100 years old tropical rainforest from the base station at Gohtong Jaya to Resorts World Genting.

Why the operator looks like a foreigner?

"The World's Longest Cable Car Ride up to the Mountain Top

Tianmen Mountain cable car
The mountain is best reached by cable car. The aerial tramway ride is the longest in the world, taking about 30 minutes for over 7 kilometers. The last part of the cable way is very steep, going up at 37 degrees over sheer cliffs to one of the mountain peaks.

Tianmen Mountain Cableway is claimed in tourist publications as the "longest passenger cableway of high mountains in the world", with 98 cars and a total length of 7,455 metres (24,459 ft) and ascent of 1,279 metres (4,196 ft) The highest gradient is an unusual 37 degrees. Tourists can walk on kilometres of paths built onto the cliff face at the top of the mountain, including sections with glass floors. An 11 kilometres (6.8 mi) road with 99 bends also reaches the top of the mountain and takes visitors to Tianmen cave, a natural hole in the mountain of a height of 131.5 metres (431 ft)."

This one is the longest,but the OP article states : " three-rope cable car". Maybe that's where the trick lies.

because he is a foreigner, working for the project. the cable car technology comes from an austrian company:
