There are two main circular trails and these may be done either individually or as a combined ride. The 10 km route, although steep in places, is suitable for beginners. A mother of a climb back up from the Olifants River is sure to tax you to the max. Those in the mood for more technical riding should opt for the 14 km option where the rocky terrain and steep drop-offs will definitely test their bike skills. A multitude of rough farm roads along the Groot Winterhoek ranges adds endless riding possibilities in the vicinity of Beaverlac.

Off your bike

Beaverlac is set amongst stark and rocky cliffs on a 3,700 ha orange farm where you will be sharing the fresh mountain air with majestic black eagles and chacma baboons. Cool off next to Beaverlac’s natural spring or hike down to the waterfalls and rock pools of the Olifants and Ratel River. If you’re in the mood, fresh-water angling for elusive bass and yellowfish add to the outdoor options. Porterville, at the bottom of the mountain, is a world-famous paragliding and hang-gliding destination.
