Violet Hill is a part of the first stage of the Wilson Trail from Stanley. The trail first passes The Twins, then to Violet Hill. Another trail, Tsz Lo Lan Shan Path, winds west side of the hill along the catchwater of Wong Nai Chung Reservoir and goes southward from Wong Nai Chung Reservoir to Tsin Shui Wan Au. Hikers starting from Wong Nai Chung Reservoir may also use Tai Tam Country Trail to go up to the summit of Violet Hill along the north ridge.
