Description:
The 4.4‑kilometer Peak2peak Gondola is the only one in the world that connects two mountain peaks. It also holds two world records. It’s got the longest free span between ropeway towers (3.03 kilometers/1.88 miles) and it’s the gondola with the highest point above the ground (436 meters/1,430 feet). At the opening ceremony in 2008, several Red Bull athletes base-jumped from the middle of the gondola. Last year, another base jumper attempted an illegal jump from the same spot, but was arrested after causing $10,000 worth of damage when he forced the doors open.
