The Bà Nà telpher is conferred the titles for the world’s longest one-wine telpher network (5,042.62m) and the system with highest altitude gap between the two ends (1,291.81m).

The VND 300-billion project meeting standards of the European Telpher Association was built with Austrian technology and equipment from Germany, Switzerland and Sweden. 

Among the 11 world records of Việt Nam, the Bà Nà telpher system is the first and only work in the filed of science and technology.

Representative of Guinness World Records Lucia Sinigagliesi appreciated that the Bà Nà telpher system is one of the most large-scale and advanced projects in the world and deserved to receive two world records at the same time.
