About this activity
We start the tour from Brasov (we pick you up from your location), head to the Seven Ladders Canyon (Canionul Sapte Scari) in the Piatra Mare range, part of the Southern Carpathian Mountains. This stunning gorge is famed for its steep ladders that take you up the rock walls past a series of rushing waterfalls.
On arrival, set off along meadow and forest paths, reaching the canyon after a 45-minute hike. Then, opt to rest here or enter the rock chasm with your experienced guide. Head inside, and 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, enjoy thrilling close-up views of the tumbling waters and the towering rock walls around you.
After your trek, 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.

Our guide was nice enough but clearly wanted to be somewhere else. He hurried us through the hike and provided very little added value. We had some friends who just Uber’d to the trailhead. Save a few bucks and just do that. Sorry Viator but you have to up your game on this one.
I really enjoyed this trip; you walk for about 45 minutes to get to the canyon. It's not a particularly challenging walk, it's a steady uphill and is uneven in places. The canyon itself doesn't take very long to get through, but it's fun going up the ladders alongside waterfalls (be prepared to get a little wet and the rungs on the ladders can also be a bit slippy, so wear proper walking shoes with decent grip!) You can then either walk back down, or zipline you way back to the bottom for I think about another 100Lei. The scenery is really pretty and our guide was excellent.
This tour was amazing. Word of warning, don't do this if you're totally unfit, as there is a good bit of walking involved, but totally worth it. Our guide Bogdan was fantastic. Highly recommend this tour!
I enjoyed the atmosphere and surprisingly the rain made the atmosphere even better!
