About this route
When Singapore cyclists say they are “doing hills”, this is usually the hill. The road up Mount Faber is short but honest, a sustained climb on a smooth, quiet park loop that tops out at Faber Peak, with the cable cars sliding overhead and the harbour spread out below.
One ascent is a lovely viewpoint ride; repeats are a legitimate workout, and on any given morning you will find riders grinding laps. Descend with care: the same gradients that hurt going up arrive quickly going down, and pedestrians share the summit loop. Earn the view, then enjoy it.

Open Route in Google Maps needs nothing extra. It opens the Maps app (or website) with the whole route already plotted as pins, ready to cycle. The GPX download is useful if you navigate with an app like Komoot or Strava, or a Garmin/Wahoo bike computer. On longer routes Google may smooth a corner or two, since it draws its own path between the pins; the map below shows our fuller route line.
