A six-kilometre climb to the Uitkyk viewpoint at Mont Rochelle, looking out over the Wemmershoek valley and dam.
Uitkyk is the outing at Mont Rochelle that most walkers should choose. Six kilometres there and back, around 360 metres of ascent, and a viewpoint that looks out over the Wemmershoek valley and dam rather than back down at Franschhoek.
It shares its opening stretch with the short Breakfast Rock walk, so the first few hundred metres are gentle before the path begins to climb. It is graded Moderate and takes two to four hours, which leaves room to sit at the top for a while.
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.
Allow two to four hours for the six kilometres there and back.
No, but it starts on the same path. Breakfast Rock is a two-kilometre walk that turns around early; Uitkyk carries on and climbs to the viewpoint.
