The 3 Salazes - With a mountain guide Activity

The 3 Salazes are three small peaks that you won't want to miss if you're in Mafate or Cilaos. Facing the sky, these three 'stakes' (in Malagasy) stand at 2132 m, on the ridge linking the Grand Bénare to the Gros Morne.

This ridge crossing to the 3 Salazes is a must-do alpine hike on Réunion Island. With its unique panoramic views over both the Mafate and Cilaos cirques, and the activities on offer on this day, you'll be able to challenge yourself in complete safety: climbing, abseiling, walking on the ridge, and zip-lining between two Salazes... It's a day full of thrills and spills!

It's also possible to continue the adventure further after the 3 Salazes and follow the ridge towards the Tête du chien (near the Col du Taibit). The Intégral des 3 Salazes is a more aerial route that will allow the most experienced climbers to surpass themselves.
