    Interesting destination for a short hike. The glaciere is an interesting insight into the history of the island.

      La caverne de la Glacière is located halfway between Maïdo and Grand Bénare.

      In the 1830s, large shafts were dug into the basalt rock to extract ice during the winter.

      This ice, extracted by slaves, was used in particular for the Bourbon trade.

        Great circular hike, initially great views of the valley basin and later the hike through the stone landscape.
