The Piton des Neiges is the highest peak on the French overseas department of Réunion and one of the iconic landmarks of the Indian Ocean region, rising to an altitude of 3,070 meters. A dormant volcano, it was formed by volcanic activity some 2 million years ago and, together with the island's active volcano, Furness, forms the unique geological landscape of Réunion. Located in the center of Reunion Island, surrounded by deep craters and gorges, the Dimitrile Ridge is rich in vertical vegetation zones - from tropical rainforests at the foot of the mountain to alpine tundra, the diversity of ecosystems is extremely remarkable. It is a hiker's paradise, with several classic routes (such as the trail from Sirao) leading to the summit, with magnificent waterfalls, volcanic rock walls and rare flora and fauna to admire along the way. The heart of Réunion National Park, the Ridge of Dimitrière was inscribed on the UNESCO World Natural Heritage List in 2010, and its pristine natural features and geological wonders have made it an eco-tourism destination of global interest.
