DO YOU HAVE HIKING TRAILS?
Yes we have a hiking trail. Dassie Trail – 3.2 km. Wander through the heart of Leopard Valley on the 3.2 km Dassie Trail, a route that criss-crosses the property and reveals some of the best of our mountain landscape. The path takes you through fynbos that has made a remarkable recovery since the 2021 fires — you'll still spot subtle signs of the burn, but today it's the resilient regrowth. It's a moderate walk with plenty of viewpoints to stop, breathe, and take in the scenery. Perfect for guests who want a short hike. Start: Reception | Duration: ~1.5 hours.
ACTIVITIES AT LVER
Activities at Leopard Valley can include self-guided nature walks, a walk to our natural spring, lounging around the pool in summer or the hot tub in winter, stargazing on clear Cederberg nights, and visits to surrounding farms for guided tours. Alternatively, you can simply rest — which is what we recommend. We also provide a list of recommended activities in the surrounding area, which will involve some driving.
