The Graskop Gorge Lift Co lifestyle centre forms the gateway to the forest below and is made up of a number of small retail outlets, a community craft market, and a restaurant perched on the cliff edge with spectacular views of the waterfall and forest below. The gorge is centrally located on the Panorama Route and is an ideal stop over point, whether it be for the view, the forest, the food or the various adventure activities, guided tours and hikes in the surrounding areas there is bound to be something for everyone.
Kids under the age of 4 years are free of charge
The lift has limited access to wheelchair
It is a beautiful walk although there are a lot of steps so people who need to use a walking stick or other means will find the forest walk difficult. There is a lot of useful and interesting information along the way - ideally you need a coupe of hours so that you can sit and relax and take in all the surroundings. - Lorna
Very informative visit...a place to be proud of...like in a first world country. Well done. - Enslie
My wife and I visited the Viewing Lift and Forest Walk on 15 June 2025, which was also her birthday. What a wonderful birthday present it was too! We arrived early and were greeted by very friendly and welcoming staff members. Before descending on the lift, we walked around the entrance area and were very impressed by the beautiful decor, restaurants, coffee shops and curio stalls. We then walked along the suspension bridge and admired the stunning view of the gorge. Then we experienced the 51m descent on the lift to the Forest Walk. What an incredible and beautiful experience - walking in and through nature, being able to admire the numerous tree and bush species. We also heard the sound of baboons jumping in the trees! The walkways are very well maintained and one can rest in the designated areas and read all about the different plant, tree and animal life found in the gorge. We also enjoyed a cup of freshly made coffee amongst the trees before coming across a stunning waterfall and clear pool. We then boarded the lift again ( we chose not to walk), and ascended back to where we started. We've travelled extensively around the world, including Disneyland in Florida, and can proudly say, that this experience matches anything else we have ever seen anywhere! We've already told our family and many friends about our experience and have encouraged them to visit this wonderful place. Congratulations and well done to the owners and everyone else involved! - Stephen
