The 3 Salazes - With a high mountain guide Group activity

As a team, set off to attack the 3 Salazes, and strengthen the bonds between your colleagues like never before!

The 3 Salazes are three small points that cannot escape your attention if you are in Mafate or Cilaos. Facing the sky, these three "stakes" (in Malagasy) are located at 2132 m, on the ridge linking the Grand Bénare to the Gros Morne.

This ridge crossing to the 3 Salazes is the must-do alpine hike in Réunion Island. Its unique panorama on both the Mafate and Cilaos cirques, and the activities proposed during this day will allow you to surpass yourself in complete safety: climbing, abseiling, walking on the ridge, and tyrolean traverse between two Salazes... A full and exciting day out!

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