Skyline Swansea Project
Our vision for Skyline Swansea is to create a visitor destination that unlocks Kilvey Hill so everyone will have a chance to enjoy its spectacular views, and more.
What is Skyline Swansea?
Based on Kilvey Hill, Skyline Swansea will be one of the city’s most exciting new tourism developments.
Skyline Swansea will create an accessible cable car ‘gondola’ which rises from the Copper Quarter to reach the summit of Kilvey Hill. At the top of the hill, gravity-powered downhill karting ‘Luge’ rides await, with a sky swing, walking and mountain biking trails, a children’s playground, and places to eat and drink. When completed, all existing public access routes will be maintained and new trails created.
Our vision? To open up Kilvey Hill for everyone to enjoy, bringing accessible tourism to the heart of Swansea.
This will be the first Skyline destination in the UK and Europe, a place where the sweeping views of Swansea Bay, Gower, and Bannau Brycheiniog can be enjoyed by all.
Whether you want to sit back with a cuppa, race down the hill, explore mountain bike trails or simply see the city from a new perspective, Skyline Swansea will be for the people who live here and the visitors who come.

Who is Skyline Enterprises?
Skyline Enterprises began in Queenstown, New Zealand, in the 1960s with a simple idea: build a gondola up a local hill so more people could enjoy the view. Incorporated in 1966, the company opened the Southern Hemisphere’s first and steepest aerial gondola the following year and has been designing and delivering innovative tourism experiences in some of the world’s most spectacular settings since.
Skyline has grown into one of New Zealand’s most successful tourism exports, operating across four continents with tourism sites in New Zealand, Canada, Singapore, South Korea, and Malaysia, with plans underway to expand into the United Kingdom. Swansea is our first site in the UK and Europe. We are here because we believe Kilvey Hill is an extraordinary place, and we’re committed to benefiting the Swansea community for the long term.
