- Seven Ladders Canyon - 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.

Day trip to the 7 ladders - Had a great trip to the canyon with Alex as the guide. He was friendly and knowledgeable, making the experience enjoyable. The walk was mostly relaxed, though there were some steep sections, especially on the way down. I'd recommend wearing boots or proper walking shoes.

Great excursion - We were picked up in time by our fantastic Guide Alex. He speaks good English and chats with everyone. Also with our (adolescent) children. The gap itself is superb. You walk in a fantastic environment along waterfalls and over bridges. Put on good shoes, they can get a little wet. We were glad to be on time in the morning. It was still quiet and we were able to take beautiful pictures. When we returned it was already a lot busier. This tour with Active Travel is highly recommended.

Hike to 7 ladders - I absolutely recommend booking tours through Active Travel. The experience was very smooth from the very beginning when I walked into the office in Braşov, where they welcomed in right away and helped me find the tour I was looking for. During the actual tour, the pick up was very organized and the vehicle very comfortable for travel. Shout out to Alex who was our tour guide. He made the whole trip very easy and accessible. Great conversations throughout the hike (if that’s what you’d like) and lots of history was shared. The blend of nice group interaction along with enjoyment of quiet nature made this hike feel seamless. If you’re in Braşov and looking to book tours and experiences, Active Travel is the way to go.

7 Ladders - I did the 7 ladders hike with Charlie, an amazing guide and a better human being. He is knowledgeable, friendly and his English is spot on. The hike itself isn't overly challenging but as far as nature, views and beauty go its a must see! I highly recommend!

Fun and Beautiful—Worked Well for Our Teen! - We had a great time and the canyon did not disappoint— no regrets there! We liked Alex very much —he seemed genuine, was intellectually curious, respectful, and engaged us in conversation while I the car and at some points during the hike. From our perspective, an area of growth would be to provide some information about the canyon and its premises, and check on the participants throughout the hike.
