Getting there

The walk starts not far from the National Park headquarters at the Morne Seychellois trailhead on Sans Soucis Rd. 

Route/Trail notes

Up until recently this walk required a full days bushbash and scramble to get to the summit, however in the past few years the Government and local guides have worked tirelessly to build and maintain a track with stairs/ladders and even little information boards along the way. The first half of the journey is up a relentlessly steep track that eventually eases off into a more undulating path. Don't let this lull you into thinking the worst is over because the last quarter is just as steep as the first half and includes a few sections where you will be aided with ropes and ladders. On a clear day you will be greeted with amazing views over the mountains, beaches and distant islands of the Seychelles. 

Permits/Costs

250 SCR (roughly 25AUD) for the National Park daily pass which can be purchased online or in person https://www.spga.gov.sc/tickets/tickets/purchase - and roughly 175AUD for a guide. Having a guide is mandatory due to previous instances of tourists getting lost. Bertrand Richemond @thecooltourguide is one such guide who offers day trips up to the summit.
