You can also ride on the Scenic Railway, the world’s steepest passenger railway, and discover the thrill of a 52-degree incline. For a gentler experience, descend into the valleys on Scenic Cableway to see nature at its most spectacular and then amble along the 2.4-kilometre elevated Scenic Walkway through a towering Jurassic rainforest. Unlimited rides on all four experiences are included in the one ticket price.
