Piton Bé Massoune

Piton Bé Massoune, Mountain summit in Salazie, Réunion, France.

Piton Bé Massoune is a summit of dark grey and blueish volcanic rock reaching 1,614 metres in the north of the Piton des Neiges massif. It sits on the mountain rampart that lifts the Plaine des Fougères above the northern part of the Salazie cirque. Its broad, rounded top carries ridges running down the flanks, with layered rock and eroded gullies; the communal boundary between Salazie and Sainte-Marie crosses it.

Piton Bé Massoune lies on the mountain rampart that sets the Plaine des Fougères plateau above the northern part of the Cirque de Salazie, in the north of the Piton des Neiges massif. The communal boundary between Salazie and Sainte-Marie runs across the summit, which the sources give as 1,614 m (1,616 m in one gazetteer).

The name Bé Massoune is written with an accent in French sources and appears as Be Massoune in others. The summit sits on the mountain rampart that holds the Plaine des Fougères plateau above the northern part of the Salazie cirque, and the communal boundary between Salazie and Sainte-Marie crosses it.

No marked trail to the summit is recorded; the peak lies on the ridge line separating the communes of Salazie and Sainte-Marie, above the Plaine des Fougères plateau that overlooks northern Salazie. Approach from the Plaine des Fougères side, where the communal boundary crosses the summit at 1,614 m.
