WALKING THE WILDERNESS ALONG THE SOUTHERN SIDE OF THE ELGIN VALLEY

Book your three-day Blue Mountain Trail this spring, summer or autumn.  This three-day trail hikes on the southern side of the Elgin Valley. The Blue Mountain experience includes mountain and river swimming, ocean views and fynbos unique to the southern side of Elgin, the Kogelberg mountains.

In Michelangelo’s words, this slackpacking, three day hike covers a 50km route through the UNESCO-declared Biosphere, offering sweeping views of the Overberg coastline, and close-up access to a unique plant life that literally gives the mountain its blue tinge. The Blue Mountain Trail starts with check in on a Monday afternoon at 15h00 and check out on a Thursday after lunch. As this is a working farm experience, the trail takes place on week days so hikers get the full experience. Wide open spaces, daily wine tasting, knowledgeable guides and overnights at Wildekrans Country House make this another bucket list experience in the Green Mountain collection.
