Christchurch Gondola
The spectacular ride takes visitors to the top of the crater rim
of Christchurch's extinct volcano on the outskirts of the city,
unfolding magnificent views of the city, over the Canterbury Plains
and towards the Southern Alps, and the sweep of Pegasus Bay and
Lyttelton Harbour, as it rises to 1,460ft (445m) above sea level.
At the summit the Gondola Complex features the Time Tunnel Heritage
Show with a walk-through exhibition and video relaying the history
and geological evolution of the Canterbury region as well as Maori
mythology. From the summit it is possible to walk back down through
the Port Hills to Sumner Beach. The Gondola was damaged in the 2011
earthquake and is currently closed for repairs.
