Cape Town hiking trails

Cape Town is blessed with a beautiful mountain range, and there are hundreds of hiking trails that cross over and between the mountains. There are a variety of routes for all types of hikers from beginners to experts, with different lengths and different difficulties. All of the trails have beautiful views of the surrounding city and the sea, and along many of the trails you can walk through indigenous forests and many different types of fynbos. The hikes range form short half day hikes, to overnight hikes that take a day or two.

In the map above, the northern and central routes are mostly days hikes because they are closer to the city center.
