Hiking - Piton de Bouillante by Mamelle de Petit-Bourg

A challenging trail leading up to a fantastic panorama at the top. When the temperature is cooler here, bird lovers can enjoy the chance to listen to a number of different species.

Hiking trail colour: yellow

Starting from the National Park information boards, take the start of the ridge trail (same start point as the Mamelle de Petit-Bourg trail). Go straight on at the first intersection. Walk over the wooden decking and stay on the same trail. At the next intersection, go straight on (the path leading right rejoins l'Habitation Soldat). Once you reach the top of Piton de Bouillante, the panoramic views are fully deserved after the last steep climb! Head back on to the same trail to return to the parking area.

Alternatively, you can also head back down towards Bouillante from the summit, down to the "Village", "Bon Air" (ridge trail) or "Birloton" sections. You can also keep going on the GR1 path (red and white signs), towards the Trois Crêtes shelter.

Pay attention to cars on Route RD23, as it is a major road.
There are no litter bins on the route, so please be considerate and take your rubbish with you.
Extra care should be taken in this natural environment, as Guadeloupe is prone to natural risks. For the benefit of all hikers, it is very important that you behave responsibly.
Please note : the parking area is not supervised.
