PLATTEKLIP GORGE




THE DIRECT STAIRWAY
Platteklip Gorge is the steepest yet most direct and popular route up Table Mountain. The entire trail consists of a massive, continuous rock stairway that leads you right to the top.
Because the path snakes up a deep ravine, it features no exposed drop-offs or cliff edges. This makes it the absolute perfect choice for hikers who want a solid physical workout but are scared of heights or deal with vertigo. Once we clear the top of the gorge, it is just a short, flat walk to the Upper Cableway Station.
