Blue Mountain Trail itinerary icons

THE BLUE MOUNTAIN TRAIL IS A THREE DAY “SLACKPACKING” TRAIL AROUND THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE ELGIN VALLEY.

Included are farm stays, delicious country food, wine tastings, and a fynbos guide. The trail is 45km in total and winds through wilderness, forests, fruit farms, and fynbos. The trail is rated three to four level of difficulty by Fiona Macintosh Slackpacking SA.

The Blue Mountain Trail starts with check in on a Monday afternoon between 16h00 and 17h00 and check out on a Thursday after lunch. As this is a working farm experience we walk on week days so that hikers get the full experience of the trail.

Just gorgeous, learnt a huge amount about the fynbos which is so beautiful to walk through. Some toughish climbs but worth it for the scenery. Great food and accommodation, all details considered. - 25 March 2024

An absolutely blissful 3 days of walking while being so well taken care of by our Guides and the staff back at home base.
