Piton Textor, Summit in Le Tampon, Réunion, France.

Piton Textor is a basalt summit in Le Tampon reaching approximately 2,200 meters within Réunion National Park. Its slopes consist of dark volcanic rock with steep, jagged formations created by intense geological forces over time.

The summit rises to 2,165 m north of the Cassé depression, above the Rivière des Remparts, in the commune of Le Tampon. The trail from Bras Piton in La Plaine-des-Palmistes follows the route of the first explorers of the Piton de la Fournaise. A walkers' mass has been held here each year, the fifth edition on 31 July 2010.

A mass of walkers is held at the summit every year; the edition of 31 July 2010 was the fifth. The relay antenna and the paraglider take-off strip on the plateau are the marks of the place's use today, alongside the GR R2 long-distance trail that passes at its southern foot.

The climb is steep and demands good hiking boots and sufficient water to carry. Weather conditions change quickly at higher elevations, so bring rain gear and warm layers for comfort and safety.

The peak sits along the GR R2 hiking route that winds through different parts of the island, making it a natural stopping point for long-distance walkers. From the top, hikers can see far across the volcanic landscape and understand how their longer journey connects different regions.
