Fansipan at 3,143 metres is the highest peak in Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia — the Roof of Indochina — accessible by the Fansipan Legend cable car from Sa Pa town, the longest three-rope cable car system in the world, which rises 1,400 metres through spectacular mountain scenery in under 15 minutes. The summit area includes Buddhist temples and the extraordinary experience of being above the cloud layer that frequently blankets the Sa Pa valley below. Hotels in Sa Pa town are at the base of the cable car and provide direct access to this extraordinary Himalayan border landscape.
