Genting Skyway is a gondola lift connecting Gohtong Jaya and Resort Hotel in Genting Highlands, Selangor, Malaysia. Its lower station at Gohtong Jaya township, located approximately 51 kilometres (32 mi) northeast of Kuala Lumpur, comprises a 5-storey station building and a 10-storey car park while its upper station is located at the Highlands Hotel. It was opened to the public on 1 February 1997 and officially opened by the fourth Prime Minister of Malaysia, Mahathir Mohamad on 21 February 1997.

Completed in January 1997 and costing RM 128 million to build, the Genting Skyway is one of the two aerial lines serving Genting Highlands and helps to ease the traffic congestion at Genting Highlands especially during peak seasons. At launch, Genting Skyway was the longest cable-car system in South East Asia and also the most advanced and fastest monocable car system in the world, travelling up to 21.6 km/h.

Genting Skyway can carry more than 2,000 people per hour with 8 passengers per gondola. At the maximum speed of 6 metres per second (21.6 km/h), the 3.38-kilometre (2.10 mi) joustations.the mountain peak takes approximately 15 minutes, depending on the weather. The system was designed by Leitner Ropeways.

The 2 x 640 kW power of the main drive and the 54 mm diameter solid cable wire is among the most powerful and strongest monocable gondola installation in the world. The system, equipped with high-tech electronic equipment, was built in accordance with stringent Swiss regulations and it has a double safety circuit free from all faults.

The foundation used for the pylons is of the "Hang-dug Caisson" type. Each pylon is founded on four Caissons measuring 1.2 metres in diameter, socketed down to bedrock. The average depth of the Caissons is about 40 m (135 feet) and each group of four Caissons piles can take a vertical load of 4,000 tonnes against the maximum vertical load of 150 tonnes from the cable car system. The Caissons method is about the safest and strongest foundation in existence, designed specifically for hilly terrain. Each pylon is accessible via rescue tracks on the ground, whilst each gondola is equipped with radio communication equipment from the stations.

During the double festive season in February 1997, about 40,000 to 50,000 passengers ride the Genting Skyway.

The rides at Genting Skyway were free until 31 March 1997, where passengers were paid RM 2 for a one-way trip.

A second phase of Genting Skyway was planned in early 1997, linking the Gohtong Jaya station and the station in Batang Kali with Kuala Lumpur's "mass-transit transportation system", the Kuala Lumpur International Airport in Sepang and West Port in Port Klang.

In August 2016, Genting Skyway served as the alternate route to the resort while the newer Awana Skyway was closed for maintenance.
