Throughout history, stairs have been constructed to facilitate our ascent to lofty heights, providing an efficient means to reach the summits of mountains or buildings. While staircases can possess beauty, grace, and elegance, not all stairs are equal in their design.

This vibrant community shares fascinating photographs of the most treacherous staircases members come across. From seemingly endless staircases winding up mountains to mind-bending patterns on carpeted steps that can leave your eyes sore, we have compiled a selection of the most astonishing death stairs for you. So, grab onto the closest railing and join us as we reveal our picks for the most dangerous staircases across the globe.
