Scenic Cableway
The 545 metre Scenic Cableway journey takes visitors from the top of the escarpment to join the boardwalk in the Jamison Valley, and back. The fully enclosed cabin offers a unique vantage point for viewing iconic rock formations including the Three Sisters, Orphan Rock and Mt Solitary. Passing closely by sheer sandstone cliffs, it showcases the renowned geology and geomorphology of the World Heritage region.
Scenic Railway
Discover the thrill of a 52 degree (128%) incline in open terrain, riding the steepest passenger train in the world, the Scenic Railway. Following an award-winning redevelopment in 2013, the fifth generation train travels an unforgetable 310 metre route through a cliff tunnel before emerging on the floor of the Jamison Valley. A truly unique experience in every sense, the railway delivers guests to the boardwalk and back.
Scenic Skyway
Enjoy panaromic views of World Heritage landscapes on the Scenic Skyway. This experience provides the best views of Katoomba Falls, the Three Sisters, Mt Solitary and Jamison Valley. Suspended 270 metres above ancient ravines, breathtaking views of rainforest canopy are revealed beneath your feet through electro-glass cabin floor. It is the largest aerial cable car in the Southern Hemisphere.
Scenic Walkway
Experience walking under the canopy of an extraordinary temperate rainforest. Located in the Jamison Valley, the Scenic Walkway offers a choice of elevated boardwalks, that link the railway and cableway stations. The Jamison Valley rainforest is home to many species of native flora and fauna, some dating back to Jurassic era.
