Tête Allègre

Tête Allègre rises to 745 meters above sea level, offering panoramic views over the Grand Cul de Sac Marin and surrounding Caribbean landscapes through dense tropical forest terrain.

This summit formed part of the volcanic landscape that shaped Guadeloupe's mountainous terrain, historically traversed by indigenous peoples before European colonization transformed the region for agricultural purposes.

Local inhabitants regard Tête Allègre as an emblematic location for outdoor sports and nature celebration, where forest discovery traditions and hiking practices are preserved and transmitted across generations.

The hiking trail begins from Muraille forest road near Séverin or Sofaïa, featuring a challenging loop with 587 meters elevation gain requiring sturdy footwear and adequate water supplies.

Hikers frequently encounter rare bird species and colorful butterflies along the trails, while the route passes natural hot springs at Sofaïa known for their relaxing and medicinal properties.
