周辺のスポット/アトラクション・トップ20

From the sea, it's a little over an hour's drive with lots of twists and turns, but it's doable. Start early so you can arrive before noon if possible. It's impressive to see the car-free village of La Nouvelle on the other side (in the middle), which we hiked to from the other side of the valley and from there we looked here and at the bare rock face to the right. The view is impressive overall, but also fascinating when the clouds rise up over the rock face at midday, but then you no longer have a view 😉

If you stand below the large boulders, the path goes up to the left, so that you can reach the entrance of the cave via a short climb.

Great city and a great starting point for many tours.

The official and well-marked hiking trail ends in the riverbed about 300m before La Chapelle. From there you have to explore the path through the stones and rocks on your own. You cross the river at least 4 times. Don't forget your bathing suit, in order to "go" deeper into the chapel you have to swim.

Piton des Neiges is a dormant volcano located in the center of Reunion Island. Classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2010, it culminates at 3,070 meters above sea level. This volcano, inactive for about 12,000 years, is responsible for the creation of two thirds of the island. Its name is misleading since snowfalls are rare there, and eternal snow non-existent. However, it is cold there and, therefore, hikers who venture there must be well equipped.

La Chapelle is one of the geological curiosities of the Cirque de Cilaos. Its natural shape resembles a cathedral made up of huge rocks that meet under which flows a waterfall creating a basin.

Before reaching the bed of the river that leads to the Chapel, savor this magnificent view of the enormous rocky cavity.

Absolutely unique experience! I have never seen a more beautiful starry sky. In the morning we could see the whole island from above, an incredible feeling!
