Kurze aber teils steile, Wanderung von Nordosten aus auf den Gipflel. An einigen Stellen werden die Hände benötigt, um zu klettern. Die Tour bietet fantastische Ausblicke über die Südwestküste und ihre Berge, zur Südküste, zum Le Morne UNESCO Welterbe, über des Hinterland von Mauritius und über der Black River National Park. Wir starteten vom Hotel Lakaz Chamarel. Alternativ kann vom Restaurant La Chamarel gestartet werden, was etwa gleich weit sein dürfte.

I nice walk. Initially on a gravel road, changing to a narrow path and finally a steep ascend/climb the final 100 m to the top. The view from the top was nice, but aggressive flies made us leave fast. Plenty of birds and monkeys on route. Total time of 2,5 hours.
