Difficult
Departure from Cilaos (Réunion)
A gruelling hike (in terms of duration), with a night-time ascent of Piton des Neiges to watch the sunrise, a return to the refuge to collect your rucksack, then a descent to Hell Bourg. Consider spending a day in Hell Bourg and visiting the ancient thermal baths.

-4,485 ft

Difficult
Departure from Cilaos (Réunion)
Due to a typhoon passing near the island, bad weather prevented us from climbing to Piton des Neiges. So we descended directly to Cilaos from the Dufour cave refuge.

Very difficult
Departure from Cilaos (Réunion)
The ascent of Piton des Neiges, the highest point on the island of Réunion (and in the entire Indian Ocean), offers a unique 360° panorama. This is a popular hike, for which we suggest a less travelled descent route.

A gruelling 4-hour climb over log steps or very slippery boulders leading to the Refuge de la Caverne Dufour.
