  • Hiking in Vikos Gorge

Overview

Hiking through the Vikos Gorge in Zagori is an unforgettable experience that should be on every adventurer’s bucket list. As one of the most stunning gorges in all of Europe, it offers a truly spectacular sight that will leave you in awe. The Vikos Gorge is part of the Vikos-Aoos National Park, covering an area of 12,600 hectares, and has been recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records as the world’s deepest canyon in proportion to its width.

The 20-kilometer long gorge boasts an exceptionally diverse landscape that is characterized by abrupt changes in altitude, making it perfect for a challenging and exciting hike. The Voidomatis River, a tributary of the Aoos River, has been carving the gorge for millions of years, splitting the mountain in half and creating steep vertical cliffs that rise to a height of 1700 meters. The slopes of the gorge expose limestone and dolomite rock formations that date back to 150 million years, offering a glimpse into the ancient geological history of the region.

As you hike through the Vikos Gorge, you will be surrounded by breathtaking natural beauty and a sense of serenity that is hard to find elsewhere. The rushing waters of the Voidomatis River, the lush vegetation, and the stunning rock formations will all be part of the experience. The trail takes you through the heart of the gorge, allowing you to witness its raw and rugged beauty up close.

If you’re an adventurous hiker looking for a challenge, then the Vikos Gorge is the perfect destination for you. So why not add it to your bucket list today and embark on an unforgettable journey through one of the most stunning natural wonders of Europe?
