What is the wind speed limit?

The operating comfort limit is 80 km/h for north to north-westerly winds, which is a very rare occurrence. Staff will monitor conditions throughout the day.

Further Detail:

Wind direction matters because a crosswind affects a cabin differently from wind blowing along the route. The selected alignment lies on the sheltered side of the mountain, away from the prevailing westerly winds. Each cabin runs on two supporting cables, like a railway track, which help it remain stable across the long span.

MWCC’s likely operating limit is set below the equipment manufacturer’s limit to keep the passenger experience comfortable. The team will monitor conditions and pause services when necessary. This is part of normal cableway operation: the route and equipment provide resilience, while the operating team manages the daily conditions.
