Beyond Skyway at Scenic World

The Scenic Skyway cable car at Scenic World has become an icon of the Blue Mountains since it first started slowly traversing back and forth high above the bush canopy back in 1958. Now, the world-famous Katoomba attraction is taking the Skyway experience quite literally up a level.

Beyond Skyway is a midair adventure that’s not for the faint of heart. Dubbed the world’s first rooftop cable-car experience, here guests climb a ladder that allows them to stand atop the Skyway carriage itself (fully strapped in with harnesses, of course), to take in the splendour of the Blue Mountains and Gundungurra Country without the filter of a glass window. From here, you can admire the Three Sisters (practically right in front of you), as well as Mount Solitary, the Jamison Valley and even, at certain times, the lights of south-west Sydney.

From 270 metres above the valley floor, enjoy non-alcoholic refreshments – like mocktails and hot chocolate – with complimentary wine, beer or champagne on offer once you’re back in the car on the return journey to the clifftop Scenic World hub. Another complimentary touch is a branded digital image for a lasting memento of Beyond Skyway. And you’ll be allocated a personal concierge, on hand to answer any questions about Beyond Skyway and cater to any specific requests.

Beyond Skyway takes place from Thursday to Saturday, after the rest of Scenic World has closed for the day. Book your tickets now.
