One of the best view from top of the hill. Trail is well maintained, we have done Many nature trail in Seychelles and Copolia is recommended one for tourists. There is enough signages on the way, so that you will not miss the way. Avoid the trail on the rainy day mainly due to fog on the hill you will not able to see the view properly. Management charge 100 scr per tourist, Which I feel is good because they have maintained the trail very well. and for the residents it's free. We were group of 8 persons, when we reached the trail point it was raining very heavily. When rain Stop we have started out trail which is approximately 800 meter height. And we finished the trail approximately in 25 minutes. Trail is not difficult. One need to carry enough water ???? or soft drinks, as on the way is very humid. Once you reach on top, you feel the paradise. Very beautiful view. During clear weather you can see Praslin island, Ladigue island, Denis Island, Saint Anne Island and all the nearby Islands. Finally I would like to thank staff "BIGUTE FERMIE" for her help and guidence, She was very hospitable and Kind.

800m pretty much straight uphill (there are some spots where it levels out) will take you to this beautiful viewpoint. Most of the trail is shaded. There is a decent sized viewing deck at the top for your photo taking pleasure. What a view it is, greens and blues galore. I didn’t want to go back down.

Starter front bus stop not far from Vallee de Mai . Best is to park at vallée de mai then walk to the trail . Easy at beginning after the kiosk bit more difficult but you end up to the top , finding a mirador from which you can have a nice panoramic view. 1 h walk to go to the top.

The trail to Nid d'Aigle starts behind restaurant Belle Vue. We tried to ride our bikes as far up as possible. Eventually we parked our bikes in the bend of the road, near a construction site where they are building a new house. From there we walked to Belle Vue (very steep!). When you see the restaurant you see a sign which tells you to go up the stairs. When you reach the top you can go left up to the restaurant, or right to the mountain. There is also a sign there which says Mountain. We decided to continue walking. After about 20/25 minutes (from the Mountain sign) through a bit of an overgrown path we reached (what we thought was) the top: a few large rocks. Great view over La Reunion! After enjoying the view for 45 minutes we hiked down again for a rewarding juice at Belle Vue. We spoke to other people there and they told us they went up even higher: apparently there is another platform if you hike further than the first rocks. And even after that platform there is another one from which you can look over the entire island. Nonetheless, we really enjoyed our hike, the view and the juice at Belle Vue. Bring enough water and some snacks. We wore long hiking pants and this was warm, but also good because of the pointy branches and mosquitos. Make sure you start early if possible because of the heat (we started at 8:30). In total it took us about 3-4 hours: 1 hour up from where we parked our bikes, 45 minute stop at the top, 45 minute break at the juice bar enjoying the juice and view, 30 minute walk back to our bike. Don't go if it just rained or is still raining because the concrete road to Belle Vue and the path to the mountain can be slippery (mud). Make sure you wear shoes with enough profile as parts are very steep. Enjoy!
