Trois Mamelles mountain

The Trois Mamelles mountain features three distinct peaks reaching an elevation of 600 meters and extends across a narrow ridgeline in the western region.

The mountain obtained its name from French settlers who observed the three peaks resembling a maternal figure, reflecting the colonial influence on local geography.

Local residents regard the mountain as a natural compass point, using its triple-peaked silhouette to navigate across the western part of the island.

The central peak offers an eight-kilometer hiking trail that requires sturdy footwear, water supplies, and approximately four hours to complete the round trip.

The mountain contains metal handles fixed into the rock face near the summit, enabling hikers to navigate particularly steep sections of the climbing route.
