The story of the Awana SkyWay

The Awana SkyWay opened in 2016 and carries visitors about 2.8 kilometres from Awana to SkyAvenue at the top of Genting Highlands, around 1,800 metres above sea level, in about 10 minutes.

The gondolas float above the ancient rainforest of the Titiwangsa range, often passing through clouds. A middle station stops at the Chin Swee Caves Temple.
