Nez Coupé du Tremblet

Nez Coupé du Tremblet is a mountain summit reaching 1913 meters in elevation in Saint-Philippe, rising above the southern cliff edge of Enclos Fouqué within the Piton de la Fournaise massif. The peak is composed of volcanic rock and offers views across the surrounding island landscape.

The area was shaped by volcanic eruptions, particularly the 2007 activity that altered the landscape and affected vegetation and hiking trails. These geological events continue to influence the terrain and appearance of the summit.

The summit is part of Reunion Island's natural heritage and reflects the region's volcanic forces. Local people and visitors view the landscape as a testament to the island's geological power.

The trail to the summit is demanding and requires good physical preparation and solid hiking experience. Bring plenty of water and weather-resistant gear, and check accessibility conditions before setting out.

Hikers encounter viewpoints overlooking Grand Brûlé and Enclos Fouqué, surrounded by dense forests covered in moss and epiphytes. This lush vegetation along the trail contrasts sharply with the barren volcanic landscape at the summit.
