Federal Pass Walking Track

Incredible walk down from the Three Sisters , through to Botting’s lookout. Had a fab time, with plenty to see - in skiing lyrebirds, birdlife, and tree ferns that weee 15 feet tall. Absolutely spectacular!! Looking forward to Doing another big hike tomorrow !!

Excellent walk - I’d advise you to start at Echo Point, overlooking the Three Sisters, down the Giant Stairway, then along the walking track to the Scenic Railway - not the other way - the Giant Staircase is very steep! If you don’t want to pay the AUS$25 to use the funicular or cable car, it is possible to take the Ferber Steps, though I didn’t do this. The whole walk takes 1.5-2.5 hours and is energetic, but not difficult. I managed it.

WARNING!!!
I’ve done this track on 18/2 and the condition is not really pleasant especially for those who are non experienced walker. The way to the scenic world from the picnic area down under the forest is severely damaged by trees and branches and you will not be able to pass through to the scenic world.
If you are choosing another track when you’re leaving the picnic area to the giant staircase near the three sisters, there’s also a wide gap due to landslides and there’s no notice for visitors. So please be careful!!

Great trail for hike!

Thanks a lot to the team at scenic world, who are keeping the place covid safe by disinfecting the trains after each ride.

Beautiful scenery and best place to spend your day. You can do this hike the easy way or the hard way.

Easy Hike
- Park at scenic world
- Walk to Giant Stairway (near Three sisters)

Difficult Hike
- Park at three sisters
- Walk towards Furber Steps and then walk towards Federal Pass
- Then climb up the Giant Stairway.

A wonderful walk today. Hardly anyone on the track.

Had no choice but to go through this pass because I would rather walk than climb back up the stairway. Scenic World at the end of the trail saved my legs.

Nice!

Amazing place for American hikes

Beautifull trail.

Nice

エコーポイントから谷底へ降り、シーニックワールドの乗り物までの遊歩道。
一旦したまで降りれば後はアップダウンは少なく歩きやすい。
木々に囲まれているところが多いが、所々展望が開ける場所もあり、
遠目に見るスリーススターズがきれい。

wunderschöne Gegend mit vielen Walking Tracks ♥
