ヴュー・ハビタンツの絶景の山頂・トップ8

Be sure to bring your rain gear! There's a small shelter, but it's usually full.

Challenging and very rewarding mountain tour. At the summit there are great views over the south of Basse-Terre, steep but mostly dry mountain paths.

The climb is long and gets steeper and rockier. But it's fun. At the top you're not only sweating, but also (at least on our warm day of ascent in a T-shirt) wet to the skin due to the high humidity. But as I said, it's fun and doable.

Great view if the weather is right, better to set off very early.

From the car park, the summit of Soufrière is accessible in around 1h30 of hiking (a few tricky sections). Beautiful views of the smoking crater and strong smell of sulfur

Summit easily accessible by a path (about an hour's detour from the path around Soufrière). Great views of the volcano on a clear day

The walk to the summit of Mamelle de Pigeon begins on the Route de la Traversée and takes around 1 hour (return). The walk is well marked and does not present any major difficulty apart from the slopes which are sometimes a little steep. At the top, a wooden structure can serve as shelter and allows you to enjoy views of the Guadeloupe National Park.

Great crater peak. Tour can be done even without major alpine experience if you have a basic level of fitness and a certain resistance to sweating. The sulphurous air may bother you, but it is harmless.
