This is a great walk through a pine forest and into the canyon via a series of ladders. Alex was my guide and a good walking companion - we chatted about everything AND he kept my feet dry! Thankyou.

Our guide Dan did a great job, he gave us lots of information about the area and Romania in general. He also adapted the pace for the group and included everyone in the conversation. The 7 ladders was a relatively easy but enjoyable hike, and we were lucky to see a bear on the way down.

Full description

The starting point of your walk is just a short drive away from Brasov. Once you are there, you will head directly to the Seven Ladders Canyon (Canionul Sapte Scari) in the Piatra Mare range, part of the Southern Carpathian Mountains. This stunning gorge is famous for its steep ladders that take you up the rock walls past a series of rushing waterfalls.

Upon arrival, you will set off along meadow and forest paths, reaching the canyon after a 45-minute hike. Afterwards, you can opt to rest here or enter the rock chasm with your experienced guide. You can then head inside, where you will spend the next 15 minutes or so crossing the bridges and climbing each of the near-vertical metal ladders that make up the gorge.

As you go, you will enjoy thrilling close-up views of the tumbling waters and the towering rock walls around you. Following your trek, you will rejoin your group and choose between a 1.5-hour return route or a harder 2 to 3 hour trail, walking back through forests and glades to your vehicle. After your hike, your tour ends back at your Brașov hotel.
