Hiking is the Primary Activity
Reunion’s magnificent volcanic landscape makes it a paradise for hikers.
Grand Randonnèe
The Grand Randonnèe is the 130 km long trail from Saint-Denis to Saint Joseph and takes a week. Whereas the Grand Randonèe 1 is the shorter path that takes four days.
Le Cirque de Cilaos
Le Cirque de Cilaos is also another adventure mecca. The hike of Piton des Neiges is the most popular in Reunion.
For an exciting picnic day out go to La Cascade de Bras Rouge which is a trekking trail through the waterfall to Mafate.
Hiking in Hell
Bourg is also as exciting as the rest. There is also Furnace Peak which has a caldera, defining its volcanic origin. And the last but the greatest is the Piton des Neiges – it is the highest point on the island.
