If you’re in for some adventure in St. Lucia, then the Gros Piton hike is the ultimate challenge.
The fantastic panoramic views that await you at the summit are well worth it.
An experienced tour guide leads the way along the easily accessed route while sharing information about the iconic peak and its twin, Petit Piton, which are St. Lucia’s most iconic landmarks.
St. Lucia Gros Piton Hike – What to Expect?
The first half of the trail slopes gently around the mountain and is a straightforward hike.
The second half of the trail, however, is a more intense trek.
The path becomes steeper as you ascend over root-formed stairs, boulders, and rocks.
The complete round trip can be completed in under 3 hours, depending on your fitness level.
The hike to the summit will challenge your body as you traverse the most rugged parts of the trail.
We recommend using a walking stick during your hike to make things easier.
Aside from the gorgeous views all along the mountain trail, you’ll come across some of the most exotic plants in St. Lucia.
The Gros Piton Hike is unlike any other adventure tour in St. Lucia.
From the top of Gros Piton, you will be able to take in the fantastic views of Petit Piton and the rest of the island from a distance.
If you’re planning your St. Lucia trip itinerary, be sure to book a Gros Piton Hike.
