About
Quick facts: More than 2 million visitors annually board the three means of transport that cross the valley. The steepest inclined cable car in Australia descends 52 degrees for 310 meters of pure thrill.
Highlights: Few people know that one of the cable cars crosses the valley at 270 meters high with a fully transparent floor, giving the sensation of floating over the forest. You can see the tops of century-old trees right beneath your feet while the silence of the valley contrasts with the gigantic view.
