Blue Mountains News

Ride into the ancient Jamison Valley on the world’s steepest railway – the Scenic Railway - followed by a walk along the Scenic Walkway, the longest elevated boardwalk in Australia, and listen out for the calls of the Lyrebird.  After you spend 10 minutes or a full hour meandering beneath the rainforest canopy, get up close to the ancient sandstone cliff as you ride back up in the Scenic Cableway, the steepest cable car in the Southern Hemisphere. Take in the Three Sisters, Katoomba Falls and Mount Solitary on the iconic Scenic Skyway as it takes you across the valley. There you can explore Katoomba Cascades or even walk along the escarpment to Echo Point and back, and then jump on the double decker hop on and off bus to keep exploring.

The options are endless, just like the views.

Beyond Skyway: A view like nothing else on earth

If you’re looking for a one-of-a-kind experience for a special occasion, the ultimate Instagrammable moment, or simply to get the adrenaline running, Beyond Skyway is for you.

Beyond Skyway is a world-first experience that takes guests to new and unexplored heights on the rooftop of the Skyway cable car over the Jamison Valley. Once on the roof, with nothing to restrict the 360-degree view, the experience is both exhilarating and completely serene.

An intimate adventure, catering to only four guests at a time, the Scenic Skyway parks in the middle of the Jamison Valley with views of the Three Sisters, Katoomba Falls and Mount Solitary.

Guests, fitted with full body harnesses, climb up the ladder through the hatch in the roof and out into the open air of the cabin’s rooftop for a whole new perspective. Guests can then relax on the custom-made wooden bench sipping our signaturemocktail and taking in the sunset across the escarpment and the valley.
