Scenic Skyway, Aerial tramway in Blue Mountains, Australia
The Scenic Skyway spans 720 meters between cliff tops, offering views of Katoomba Falls, Three Sisters, Mount Solitary, and Jamison Valley from 270 meters high.
Established in 1958 as Australia's first cable car system, the Scenic Skyway underwent major upgrades in 2004 and 2017 with Swiss engineering improvements.
The cable car system represents Australian innovation in transportation while providing access to significant natural landmarks in the Blue Mountains region.
The Swiss-manufactured cabin operates every 10 minutes throughout the day and accommodates 84 passengers with both transparent and solid floor sections.
The electro-glass floor transforms from solid to clear during the journey, revealing the rainforest canopy beneath while crossing the Jamison Valley.
