Rempart de Bellecombe, cliff in France; geonames ID = 936121

Rempart de Bellecombe is a curved rock wall forming the western, northern and southern rim of the Enclos Fouqué caldera on Piton de la Fournaise. It rises about 100 metres above the caldera floor and reaches a maximum height of 2351 metres. The arc runs from Nez Coupé du Tremblet in the southeast to Nez Coupé de Sainte-Rose in the northeast, spanning roughly eight kilometres in diameter. Its layered dark grey and brown rock face is cut in the northwest by the Pas de Bellecombe-Jacob.

The wall forms the western, northern and southern rim of the Enclos Fouqué, the caldera left by the active Piton de la Fournaise. It is named after Guillaume Léonard de Bellecombe, governor of Bourbon when the first explorations took place. Its arc runs about eight kilometres from the Nez Coupé du Tremblet to the Nez Coupé de Sainte-Rose.

The name honours Guillaume Léonard de Bellecombe, governor of Bourbon when the first explorations of the massif took place. The cliff also marks parish boundaries: its northern stretch lies in Sainte-Rose, while the southern rim partly separates Saint-Joseph from Saint-Philippe. Hikers today cross it at the Pas de Bellecombe-Jacob.

The Pas de Bellecombe-Jacob, cut into the cliff's north-western section, is the descent route onto the caldera floor; the rim itself rises about 100 metres above it. The arc runs roughly eight kilometres from the Nez Coupé du Tremblet to the Nez Coupé de Sainte-Rose. The cliff top reaches 2,351 metres, so plan for cold, shifting weather and wear sturdy footwear on the rocky, uneven ground.

A passage called Pas de Bellecombe-Jacob cuts through the cliff and offers hikers a clear view of the surrounding landscape while serving as a gateway to hiking trails. From this point, visitors can reach notable landmarks including Formica Leo mountain and the Rosemont chapel.
