Piton de Bébour, Mountain summit in Saint-Benoît, Réunion.

The Piton de Bébour reaches 1473 meters above sea level and stands within the Bébour state forest of eastern Réunion island in the Indian Ocean.

The mountain formation occurred during the final eruptions of Piton des Neiges, which filled the previous Cirque des Marsouins and created the Bébour plateau 20,000 years ago.

The Piton de Bébour trail exhibits native plant species of Réunion, including rare orchids and endemic vegetation that grows along the volcanic slopes.

A circular trail of 2.4 kilometers surrounds the mountain, with muddy sections requiring careful footing, particularly after rainfall when the path becomes slippery.

The mountain contains distinct volcanic rocks and remains under observation by the Piton de la Fournaise volcanological observatory for geological research and monitoring.

Location: Saint-Benoît

Elevation above the sea: 1,460 m

Made from material: volcanic rock

GPS coordinates: -21.12767,55.56168
