Roche Écrite, Mountain summit in La Réunion, France.
The Roche Écrite summit rises to 2,274 meters above sea level, featuring steep rocky paths and dense forest areas throughout the ascent.
The mountain trails surrounding Roche Écrite were developed during the colonial period when coffee plantations covered the lower slopes of the region.
The summit forms part of Réunion National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site that preserves the natural environment of the Indian Ocean island.
The hiking trail spans 18.8 kilometers from Mamode Camp, requiring proper hiking equipment and weather monitoring due to rapid climate changes.
Endemic bird species inhabit the forests around Roche Écrite, making it an essential location for wildlife preservation in the Indian Ocean.
