Les Hauts de La Réunion

GR® R1 connects the high-altitude landscapes and the three great cirques of La Réunion. Its appeal for visitors is to reveal a vertical island, where changes of slope, clouds and vegetation count as much as the kilometres.

An island mountain route

Walking at altitude on Réunion means adjusting your plans to local alerts and weather. The official information from the Parc national de La Réunion and the tourist office is the right starting point for preparing a section.
