Gros Piton

Perched along St Lucia’s southwest coast and protected as a UNESCO World Heritage site, the dramatic twin peaks of Gros Piton and Petit Piton stand as some of the Caribbean island’s most memorable landmarks. Gros Piton, the larger of the two, rises to an impressive 2,619 feet (798 meters) above sea level. Its rugged slopes and lush vegetation offer a challenging yet rewarding hike for those who venture up. Today, visitors can explore the well-trodden trails, taking in panoramic views of the surrounding landscape and the azure waters of the Caribbean Sea.
