Discover Le Morne Brabant at a relaxed pace: the trail climbs to the halfway point, then loops through quieter corners of the mountain's natural and cultural heritage before heading back down.

The views are very close to those from the summit, without the challenging final climb — a good choice if you are less fit or have vertigo. This tour does not go to the summit.
