Mount Fansipan is the highest mountain peak of Vietnam with the elevation of 3,143m above sea level. The Fansipan cable car ride is 6292.5m which travels through the most spectacular area of the Hoang Lien National Park in Sapa Vietnam.

Below is a step-by-step guide as how to visit Mount Fansipan by cable car and funicular train.

1/ From Sapa Funicular Station to the Muong Hoa Station

The funicular train ride takes 6 minutes which offers breath-taking views of the Muong Hoa Valley and the Hoang Lien National Park. You may want to break the journey and adore the nature of the Muong Hoa Valley at the Muong Hoa Station.

2/ Hoang Lien Cable Car Terminal to Fansipan Cable Car Terminal

From the Hoang Lien Cable Car Terminal, the 15 minute-ride by cable car, which offers spectacular views of the sublime nature around Sapa and the Hoang Lien Mountain Range, takes us to the Fansipan Cable Car Terminal.

3/ Do Quyen Funicular Train Station (3,000m) to the Truc May Train Station (3,100m)

You come out of the Fansipan Cable Car Terminal, then you can proceed by climbing 600 stone steps to the peak of Mount Fansipan, or take another funicular train ride from the Do Quyen Funicular Train Station (3,000m). In the latter case, you will arrive at the Truc May Train Station (3,100m) where you proceed to the summit by climbing 50 stone steps.
