Sainte-Suzanne (La Réunion) walks

This trail, laid out in the Enclos Fouqué, allows you to immerse yourself in the mineral landscapes of Piton de la Fournaise, with a distance and elevation gain that remain accessible to most people. You will discover several types of lava: cordée, grattons, scories, etc., and cross relatively recent lava flows (2016). Please note that this hike is not accessible in the event of a volcanic eruption (which have been relatively frequent in the 2010s). Check in advance. 06/08/2025: Hike not possible. A major landslide has occurred at Pas de Bellecombe, resulting in the complete closure of the trails in Enclos Fouqué for an extended period.

The craters are very beautiful with two magnificent geodes. 06/08/2025: Hike not possible.A major landslide occurred at Pas de Bellecombe, resulting in the complete closure of the trails in the Enclos Fouqué for an extended period.
