Hike with us on our classic all-inclusive options up the most iconic routes on Table Mountain
Platteklip Gorge (+-3hrs)
Platteklip Gorge offers a steep and expansive staircase-like route, presenting a non-technical hike that is suitable for those who may have concerns about heights or being close to edges, especially if their preference is to explore the Front Table.
Our ascent commences from the lower cable car station, ascending Table Mountain’s northern slopes to reach the Contour Path. This picturesque, level path runs along the front of Table Mountain, providing stunning views of the city and Table Bay. This segment offers a perfect opportunity to immerse ourselves in the mountainous surroundings before the path intersects, leading to a steep ascent up Platteklip Gorge.
Platteklip Gorge, named for its flat rock formations, features impressive ‘Table Mountain sandstone’ cliffs and is adorned with fynbos, with a river flowing through it. This Table Mountain hiking route boasts a rich variety of fauna and flora, overlooking the City, Table Bay, and Devil’s Peak.
The journey concludes with a leisurely stroll towards the Upper Cable Car station, setting the stage for an unforgettable cable car descent
Note: Cableway is weather (wind) dependent and you will guided down Platteklip Gorge should the cableway be closed.
