Nez Coupé de Sainte-Rose

Nez Coupé de Sainte-Rose, Mountain summit in Sainte-Rose, Reunion Island, France.

Nez Coupé de Sainte-Rose is a mountain summit on Reunion Island made of dark volcanic rock that overlooks the slopes of Piton de la Fournaise and the surrounding highlands. The peak displays sharp edges and rough surface textures shaped by volcanic activity.

The summit rises at 2,075 m on the cliff that drops the Fond de la Rivière de l'Est above the northern Enclos Fouqué, the caldera left by the Piton de la Fournaise. It is generally taken as the point separating the rempart de Bois Blanc to the east from the rempart de Bellecombe to the west, within the Piton de la Fournaise massif.

The name Nez Coupé, "cut nose", refers to the profile of the cliff edge where the summit sits, between the rempart de Bois Blanc to the east and the rempart de Bellecombe to the west. The summit marks the boundary between these two ramparts above the Enclos Fouqué.

The hiking route requires sturdy footwear and stamina, as the path crosses uneven volcanic terrain. It is wise to start early and bring water and sun protection, as conditions can change quickly.

The summit marks the divide along the cliff between the Rempart de Bois Blanc to the east and the Rempart de Bellecombe to the west, overlooking the Fond de la Rivière de l'Est above the northern edge of the Enclos Fouqué, the caldera last formed by the Piton de la Fournaise.
