Piton Morne Langevin, Volcanic summit in Saint-Joseph, Réunion.
Piton Morne Langevin is a volcanic summit in Saint-Joseph that stands 2336 meters high. The peak overlooks the Remparts plain and the sources of the Langevin river.
The summit was shaped by volcanic activity that transformed Reunion Island over thousands of years. These geological processes left the rock formations visible on the mountain today.
The summit sits along ancient pathways that connected highland and lowland communities in early times. Walking here follows routes that shaped how people moved across the island.
The hiking trail starts at Pas des Sables, accessible from Bourg Murat via the Volcano Forest Road. Adequate preparation and mountain gear are needed for the weather and terrain conditions.
The slopes host endemic plant species that thrive only in the volcanic soil and altitude conditions found here. These specialized habitats make the mountain a place of botanical significance.
