About Hiking the Piton de la Fournaise
Hiking on the slopes of the Fournaise will give you the rare experience of walking in a mineral landscape formed by successive lava flows. Do not hesitate to take the paths of the Fouqué enclosure even if you have no specific destination, as you can enjoy the landscape and approach the Formica Leo. All the routes inside the enclosure are only marked by closely spaced white paint dots, so they are very easy to follow but difficult to find once you have left them. If in doubt, spot other walkers who don't look lost, and do not stray from the path under any circumstances. Access to the Bory crater and the crater tour route have been closed since the Dolomieu Crater collapsed in 2007.
