Day 9: To the basecamp of Piton des Neiges
Short and tough ascent to the Refuge de la Caverne Dufour
by Elisabeth
The next big challenge is the summit tour of Piton des Neiges, the highest mountain on the island and the Indian Ocean. Since, as you know by now, the sight is always best in the early morning hours, today we hike to the base camp, the Refuge de la Caverne Dufour, to climb the summit […]
Tag 7 und 8: Cilaos and a resting day in Cilaos
It’s about the journey, not the destination … isn’t it?
by Elisabeth
In the morning, the ascent from Marla (1629 m) to the Col du Taïbit (2081 m) is awaiting us. We start at 8 o’clock, step by step we ascend in serpentines until we reach a beautiful forest with mimosa trees. To our right is the mighty wall of the Rempart de Mafate. After 1 hour […]

Day 3: Descent into Cirque de Mafate and ascent to Îlet à Malheur (via Aurère).
Flip-Flops on the rocks
by Markus
The map shows a very overgrown wall, the height lines are close together. It is hard to imagine that a path runs into the Cirque de Mafate here, but it does, the GR R2 is marked here. In less than 4 kilometres of trail, it descends 700 metres in altitude, and in the steepest part […]
