Heights of Abraham Accessibility: Cable Cars, Wheelchairs and Pushchairs

Heights of Abraham Accessibility: Cable Cars, Wheelchairs and Pushchairs

Quick answer: The cable cars normally keep moving slowly through the station, but staff can assist. Official guidance says wheelchairs can be accommodated, with the wheelchair user and up to three other people in a cabin. Pushchairs are allowed, although twin models may need folding.

Boarding the cable car

The cabins do not normally stop, which can sound intimidating before the visit. They move slowly through the station and staff are available to help. Contact the attraction directly before travel if you need a particular boarding adjustment or want to discuss the size of mobility equipment.

Wheelchairs and pushchairs

Official FAQs state that wheelchairs are accommodated and that a wheelchair user can travel with three others in the cabin. Pushchairs can be taken, but twin pushchairs may need to be collapsed. These details do not mean every hilltop path or cavern route has identical access.

Plan the whole visit, not only the cabin

Read the current access information for gradients, paths, caverns, toilets and weather. Decide which parts of the hilltop are priorities and ask staff about the best route on arrival.

Our practical view

The cable car itself was calmer than it may appear in photographs. The more important planning question is how the full hilltop terrain matches your needs, so use the attraction’s access guidance and contact them with specifics.
