Escape the crowds and experience one of Somerset West’s most rewarding mountain hikes with a qualified local guide. The Helderberg West Peak route offers a real sense of wilderness, beautiful fynbos, rocky mountain scenery, and wide-open views over False Bay, the Winelands, Table Mountain, and the surrounding peaks.
