Piton des Neiges
At 3070m above sea level this is the highest point in the Indian Ocean and arguably one of the best places in the world to watch the sunrise. It is a tough climb up to the refuge near the summit but the views are astounding!

Reunion's jaw dropping landscape, flora and fauna and
fascinating mix of African and French culture make it a must see destination
for any adventure traveller. The trekking here is challenging, do not
think because the island is only 39 miles long that the terrain will be easy,
the traverse of the island is one of the most demanding adventures we
have. But as you watch the sunrise over the Indian Ocean from the summit
of Piton des Neiges, it is worth all the effort.
