Piton Bé Massoune

Piton Bé Massoune rises to 1,614 meters above sea level within the Réunion National Park, featuring steep volcanic slopes and dense vegetation.

The mountain emerged through volcanic processes that shaped Réunion Island, forming part of the ancient Piton des Neiges massif complex.

Local communities from Sainte-Marie and Salazie have integrated this natural landmark into their daily lives as a geographical reference point.

Multiple hiking trails lead to the summit, requiring proper mountain gear and an early morning start to avoid afternoon heat.

The mountain marks the natural border between two distinct administrative regions while providing views across the Salazie cirque.
