What You Can Look Forward To…
The Swartberg Mountain range is composed of two main mountain chains running roughly along the northern edge of the Little Karoo ( Klein Karoo). As most of the Swartberg Mountains are above 2000 m high, this makes it the tallest mountains in the Western Cape. This mountain range is also one of the longest with a span of 230km from Laingsburg to Uniondale, and 70km wide. The highest point to be the Seweweekspoortpiek at 2325 m (7,628ft). Scientists have calculated that the Swartberg was originally more than 7000m high, but erosion has worn it down to the current height.
Beautiful rock formations of Quartzitic sandstone gives the Swartberg mountains a scenic view which you will never forget. Much of the Swartberg is part of the UNESCO World Heritage site, with protected areas of Cape Floral. The Swartberg Pass will provide the finest views of the geology, flora and fauna.
