The waterfall starts even higher and is said to be over 1,000 m high. Legend says: Long ago, a rich man fell in love with a young girl from humble beginnings. The girl's father opposed any relationship between the two lovers. Despite his prohibition, they decided to marry. Enraged, the bride's father entered the church where the ceremony was taking place. Armed with a saber, he intended to kill this unacceptable son-in-law. The couple managed to escape into the valley, but the bride slipped and fell from the mountain. Her veil caught on the wall, giving the Bridal Veil Waterfall its name.

Climb is tough. Waterfall is ok, but not really worth the climb. Climb itself is tough when dry, in wet conditions I would definitely advise against it.

The hut is on the direct path to the summit of the Piton de Neiges. The hut is very simple (there are no showers and only three toilets in total, not separated by gender). You sleep either in shared rooms in the hut itself (up to 15 beds) or in military tents (each with 8 beds). There are no pillows, just wool blankets. So don’t forget your hut sleeping bag. There is no drinking water. However, water is sold in bottles by the landlord for currently (09/2023) €3 per liter. There are also snacks like KitKat and other drinks like Cola. The dinner was also rather simple, but very tasty and more than sufficient. There is the option for breakfast. An advance reservation should be made either online or by telephone with the innkeeper. Anyone who would like to eat must also register 48 hours in advance. All in all, we can recommend the hut, but you should be aware in advance of what you are getting yourself into!

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.

The refuge of the Dufour cave, also called "gîte du Piton des Neiges" is located at an altitude of 2,400 meters. This essential stopover is accessible in summer and winter alike and has about 70 places divided between dormitories and bungalows. It is strongly recommended to book your nights and meals at least 48 hours in advance. Access to water is also limited, so remember to bring enough.

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!

Lots of bad comments about the refuge but we were lucky enough to be able to chat with the caretaker who is passionate about it and above all to taste a sausage rougail at 2500m.
