After rising to an elevation of 1,035 meters, cars will crest the ridge, then descend to an elevation of 875 meters over a distance of just 300 meters, arriving at a station just behind the mountain viewing pavilion in the Formosan Aboriginal Culture Village. The system will include 16 support towers along its length.
不論就長度、高度、山谷跨距、陡升陡降度 (43 度)、臨水畔湖等條件來看，日月潭纜車都將是一條獨特的觀光纜車。
