Piton Fleurs Jaunes, Mountain summit in Cilaos, Reunion Island, France.
Piton Fleurs Jaunes is a summit in the Cirque of Cilaos on Reunion Island, marked by vertical rock faces and distinctive stone formations throughout the terrain. The area displays a rough, alpine appearance with several descent routes connecting to canyons below.
The mountain received its name in the mid-20th century during a period of climbing activity, when mountaineers marked routes with colored paint on the rocks. This practice helped subsequent climbers find safe passages on the peak and in neighboring canyons.
The summit is a meeting point for climbers from Reunion who practice their skills and explore local routes on its slopes. The steep walls and rock formations shape how people use and experience this location.
The ascent requires experience and specialized equipment such as harnesses and ropes, as the rock faces are steep and slippery. Visitors should come prepared with sturdy shoes and adequate water while paying attention to weather conditions at this elevation.
From the summit, visitors can descend into a network of canyons, with one canyon offering a vertical drop of approximately 55 meters. This feature attracts both climbers and adventure seekers who want to challenge themselves in this extreme setting.
