Piton of the Little Black River Summit & Bench 828

Highlight • Summit

Best when the weather is nice, otherwise the summit is in the clouds. If it is raining or wet, you should wear sturdy shoes. Gloves for the final climb on the rope are also a great advantage. I would advise against larger backpacks, as you have to climb over a larger exposed root just before you reach the summit and you shouldn't lose your balance in the process.

Historic boundary stone on the Piton de la Petite Rivière Noire Trail

Highlight • Monument

Orientation points such as the old boundary stone are very important here for estimating distances in the forest.

Summit Trail to Piton de la Petite Rivière Noire

Highlight • Summit

Climbing the highest mountain in Mauritius is of course a must. However, you should make sure that you allow enough time for the path to dry after a rainy period, otherwise you will sink into the mud and morass. The final ascent to the summit is equipped with a few ropes at the edge, which can be put to good use due to the partially slippery surface. Especially on the descent, this part can be a bit difficult, also because of the steepness and exposure.
