Highlights
- 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.

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!

Great guide, scenic not strenuous, close to Brasov - While the walk was very nice — and since we went at 9 on a Tuesday, no other people — the best part was the history and information from our guide, Zsolt Bara. Local history as well as being able to provide hiking/wilderness informations, and information on other regions of Romania. Since both I and the other tour member were Austrian/German we learned some cool things about the German influence since the days of the empire. Also no one was eaten by bears, so very good! (Joke of course) This is especially good for someone who has not been in Romanian hiking before/wants a more involved trip out. Because you can hike anywhere in the world, but you can only get this kind of experience with local informations. Also nothing to be afraid of, these ladders, as long as you don’t have phobia of climbing.

Great hike with our favorite guide and dear friend - Big Thank you! to our guide and dear friend, Marian @Active Travel for an amazing hike and experience. The 7 Ladders Canyon is wonderful. We continued through the woods all the way up to Piatra Mare hut and Piatra Mare peak. The views from there are fantastic. Hiking with Marian is always a pleasure. Strongly recommend!

Great tour! - We were in a small group with Dan as our guide, who spoke very good English. Great guy - very experienced and competent and also extremely personable. We really enjoyed the tour because it lasted around 5 hours and fit in well with our last day there. We were picked up and dropped off at the place of our choice - great service on top of that. We would book the tour again!

Succeeded - We had a guided tour with Dan, who led us through the area in a very relaxed and informative way. A really nice guy who banished my fear of wild animals with his calm manner. During the trip I was just overwhelmed by the untouched nature.
I can highly recommend this tour. An all-round successful day, which was rounded off with Dan's restaurant tips. Thank you very much for that.

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.
