Today, we head out on the adventure to Fansipan Mount, the roof of Indochina, past the 3,143-meter one. Often referred to as the “Roof of Indochina," Fansipan is infused with grandeur and has great cultural and spiritual significance to the local ethnic groups because it is acclaimed in the Hoang Lien Son range. The construction of the Cable Car to Fansipan Mountain, one of the first activities and commercial ideas, was launched in February 2016: new opportunities for access to Mount, open to all travelers of all ages, to the vision of panoramic sceneries and serene beauty. This state-of-the-art system has risen to two Guinness World Records and has become one of the many highlights of Sapa Tours in terms of adventure, comfort, and immersion in the culture of this land. Join us to explore the highlights of this incredible cable car journey!
The Fansipan Legend Cable Car System can therefore rightly be claimed as a great marvel created by modern engineering. It is designed according to modern standards, running on a state-of-the-art three-rope design for maximum safety and stability. Just imagine that while going up you will smoothly glide over lush green valleys and terraced rice fields with the serene sounds of nature to keep you company
Before a cable car, it took several days of severe trekking to reach the summit of Fansipan. Now, with the Cable Car to Fansipan Mountain, this magnificent peak has been opened for everyone to see, bringing new life to Sapa Tours and becoming a place visited by travelers from all corners of the world. It takes 15 minutes for passengers to be admitted to stunning views of the Hoang Lien Son range and Muong Hoa Valley through large windows, good for photography.
Although cable cars do relieve one of a long hike, they will save a lot of time and turn out to be ideal not only for families with children but also for older people and those not in such great shape. The ride itself is an unforgettable aerial adventure that complements the thrill of reaching the summit.
Great marvel
