First section: The Skyway cable car takes you 270 meters above the valley, offering aerial views of the Three Sisters and other Blue Mountain landmarks. The Three Sisters look quite spectacular from different angles!

Second section: The Cableway, a stable glass-cabin cable car, has its thrilling moments as it's Australia's steepest aerial cable car. After getting off the cableway, there's a short hiking trail through the forest where the air is fresh - it's like a natural oxygen bar.

Third section: The Scenic Railway, though short in distance, can really be enjoyed like a roller coaster in an amusement park!
