SCENIC RAILWAY

Passengers can choose their level of adventure, adjusting their seated position up to 20 degrees. Choose CLIFFHANGER at a steep 64° incline; LAIDBACK for a more relaxed journey; or for loyal fans, ORIGINAL at 52°.

The original railway was built in the late 19th century to serve the Katoomba coal mine. Acquired by the Hammon family in 1945, it has operated for tourists for over 70 years thrilling 25 million passengers.

SCENIC SKYWAY

Glide between cliff tops with panoramic views of World Heritage landscapes on the Scenic Skyway. This 720 metre journey 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 the electro-glass cabin floor. For the less adventurous, seating and solid flooring is also available.

SCENIC CABLEWAY

The 545 metre Scenic Cableway journey gently descends into the Jamison Valley and returns to the top of the escarpment.

The fully enclosed cabin is a unique vantage point for viewing iconic rock formations including 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.

Opened in 2000, the current Swiss-made cabin was launched in 2018. Built by world leading ropeway engineering company, Doppelmayr Garaventa, it features improved accessibility with capacity for 84 passengers. It is the steepest aerial cable car in the Southern Hemisphere.

SCENIC WALKWAY

Disembark the Cableway directly onto the Scenic Walkway to experience temperate rainforest on a 500m elevated boardwalk, an easy 10-20 minute walk between the Railway and Cableway stations.
