Pic Ramond

Pic Ramond is a mountain summit on Reunion Island rising to 2193 meters (7195 feet) with steep rocky slopes. The peak displays volcanic rock formations typical of the island's geological character.

Pic Ramond formed through volcanic activity that raised Reunion Island from beneath the ocean roughly 3 million years ago. Ongoing geological processes have continued shaping the landscape throughout this vast span of time.

Local mountain guides and hikers pass down their knowledge of Pic Ramond to new generations through stories of their climbing experiences.

Climbing requires proper hiking equipment, adequate water supply, and careful attention to weather conditions before attempting the ascent. Conditions can shift quickly in the mountains, so good preparation is essential.

From this peak, visitors can observe the three major natural basins of the island: Mafate, Cilaos, and Salazie. These three cirques spread across the landscape below in a way few other vantage points allow.
