The Genting Skyway Cable Car Top Station at Highlands Hotel is the mountaintop terminus of one of Southeast Asia's longest cable car systems, where visitors disembark after a breathtaking ascent through mist-shrouded peaks and lush rainforest canopy. The Skyway, which has operated since 1997, carries passengers from the mid-hill station to the summit of Resorts World Genting, offering panoramic views that stretch across the Titiwangsa mountain range on clear days. Arriving at the top station marks the transition from journey to destination, as guests step directly into the resort's hotel and entertainment complex.
The top station connects directly to the Highlands Hotel lobby and the broader SkyAvenue shopping and dining precinct, making it the primary arrival point for most visitors who take the cable car up the mountain. The station handles high volumes efficiently during peak periods, with multiple gondolas arriving and departing in continuous rotation. For many visitors, the cable car ride itself is one of Genting's most memorable experiences, and the top station is where that magic culminates.
Whether you are arriving for the first time or heading back down, the Genting Skyway Top Station is where the highland adventure begins and ends. Step off the gondola, breathe in the mountain air and let the summit welcome you.
Must spend a day here if visiting KL. Escape sun with a cooler climate. Rope car is good. We bought tickets for return journey from top station. We got one ticket return journey price printed and number of persons as 2. But they asked us to.

The Genting SkyWay Cable Car is one of the fastest and most scenic cable car rides in Southeast Asia, connecting Awana Station to SkyAvenue Station at Genting Highlands.

One of the most memorable parts of visiting Genting Highlands is the incredible cable car ride. The journey up the mountain is nothing short of breathtaking gliding smoothly over lush green valleys, mist-covered hills, and streams below,.

The view is simply unmatchedgliding over the lush, 130-million-year-old rainforest as the cool mist rolls in was incredibly serene. It felt like a scene out of a movie. I highly recommend opting for the Glass Floor Gondola; it adds a whole new level of thrill when you can see the forest canopy directly beneath your feet!
