  • Challenging hike up & only slightly easier coming down. Wear good walking shoes & take water. Lovely view at the top.

  • Be sure to take water and keep your hands free as you will need them to scramble up and down the tricky bits!

  • Was a nice experience. It was the first time that I said "that's all?", after a hike. The view was amazing. I can say that it was quite an easy one for me.
  • The path from Lakaz Chamarel is well prepared by the machete of Lakaz' owner Jean Marc himself ;) There are at least two parts where you actually have to use your hands to climb but it is doable also for unexperienced hikers like I am! The view is worth it (at least on a sunny day)!
  • Climbing Piton Du Canot is very much worth the climb, for once you are at the top there is such a beautiful 360 degree sounding that should take away any tired or negative feelings. Definitely I will gladly hike Piton Du Canot again, was very good. 👍👍
  • Really stunning view from the top.Worth the effort.Suitable for beginners.❤
  • The view from the summit is fantastic, even when the weather isn't perfect. The trail from Chamarel was doable, with some climbing required in a few places. Trail gets slippery when wet.
