Half Day Hiking Trip at Le Pouce Mountain - What to Expect:

Your journey will begin at Helvetia Shopping Center (Les Allées) where you will meet your guides and leave your car in a secure parking area. After a short briefing, you will be guided all the way to the foot of the mountain before beginning your ascent to the top.

• The first part of the mountain is perfectly built to warm up your muscles, starting off with a slope of which the gradient increases as you progress into the climb before changing into a rocky path of ascending twists and turns.
• Once you reach the or half way point it's almost as if you are back on the ground with an almost flat plateau with some hills and ditches before you reach the final part of the climb.
• The final part of the climb is a steep climb to the summit. Once you reach the top, be sure to touch the rock which is the absolute highest point of the mountain!
• From the peak you will have an amazing 360 degree view of Mauritius. The sight of the northern part of the island is splendid, with a beautiful view of the northern small islands of Mauritius- Flat Island, Round Island and Snake Island. You will also get to look down onto the capital and to the west part of the island.
