Carbet Mountains, Mountain range in northern Martinique, Caribbean Sea.
The Carbet Mountains consist of five volcanic peaks reaching heights between 1,070 and 1,196 meters, covered by dense rainforest vegetation.
The mountain range formed through volcanic eruptions between one million and 322,000 years ago, predating the formation of Mount Pelée.
The mountains and surrounding forests received UNESCO World Heritage status in September 2023, marking the seventh natural site in France with this recognition.
Hiking trails begin at Morne-Vert and Plateau Boucher, requiring early morning starts and proper equipment due to frequent rainfall and steep paths.
The slopes feature distinct vegetation zones, transitioning from tall rainforest trees to mountain thickets and savannahs above 1,000 meters elevation.
