Very difficult
Departure from Saint-Claude (Guadeloupe) (Guadeloupe)
A demanding hike on the slopes of La Soufrière, combining volcanoes, spectacular landscapes and historical discovery with the DC-3 wreck. The section leading to the wreck is the most complicated, very muddy and technical, requiring balance and endurance, while the rest of the route is more accessible. This hike is not suitable for non-athletes or those unaccustomed to challenging terrain, but it offers incredible views and unique memories for those who dare to venture there.

Calvaire-Louisiane on the heights of Sainte-Anne
4.60 mi
+784 ft
-794 ft
2h 50
Moderate
Departure from Sainte-Anne (Guadeloupe) (Guadeloupe)
I suggest a short walk in the countryside on the heights of Sainte-Anne, in the Grands Fonds, which I call Calvaire-Louisiane. A somewhat hidden path where hills and valleys formed by rainwater runoff follow one another. Between the hills, a maze of dirt tracks links the villages. It won’t be circular, but rather a ‘lollipop’ with its stick. It may be slippery and muddy, but it’s often nicely shaded.
