Mont Rochelle’s second summit at 1,407 metres, a thirteen-kilometre climb with the Franschhoek valley below.
Du Toitskop is Mont Rochelle’s second summit and a genuinely different day from Perdekop. Thirteen kilometres there and back, around 660 metres of ascent, topping out at 1,407 metres with the Franschhoek valley spread out below rather than the Wemmershoek side.
It leaves on the same path as the short Breakfast Rock walk before climbing away, and the connecting Manganese path can be used to link it with the Uitkyk Trail into a longer circuit. It is graded Moderate and takes five hours.
Yes. Permits are sold at the reserve entrance gate, at the Franschhoek Wine Valley information bureau, and online through Webtickets. Wild Cards are not accepted here.
Perdekop is a circuit to the reserve’s high point at 1,575 metres. Du Toitskop is a there-and-back to a lower summit at 1,407 metres, facing the Franschhoek valley rather than Wemmershoek.
