Hiking trip, beach holiday or honeymoon?
Its mountain ranges, valleys and canyons have earned Reunion the nickname of Switzerland in the tropics. The prosperous island in the Indian Ocean therefore attracts many mountaineers and (mountain) hikers. They follow the Grande Randonnée, the marked long-distance walk that crosses the island, climbing the more than three thousand meters high Piton des Neiges or the Piton de la Fournaise . The first is an extinct volcano, the second an active volcano. The over a thousand different plant species and primary old-growth forest in the Saint Philippe Mare Longue Nature Reserve are a favorite of nature and bird lovers. The extensive road network and European-level amenities invite you to hire a car and explore this rugged volcanic island east of Madagascar on your own.
