    Hiking

    One of the most beautiful panoramas of Mauritius on the south west coast.
    From Viewpoint Chamarel a stone's throw to the top.
    Perfect for watching the sunset.
    For everyone feasible.
    You can continue the hike from there (see map)

    Hiking

    The ascent and descent is quite demanding and steep, and the path is slippery when wet. There are some passages that require the use of hands. But it's worth the effort. The view is great, there is even a small snack station on the south side.

    Hiking

    The climb is demanding from both sides, steep and slippery when wet. But the view from the summit makes up for all the effort. Sporty types hike further south to the Chamarel waterfall.
