Gros Piton, measuring 2,283 feet, can be scaled by active types who are in good shape (the second half of the two- to four-hour trek is arduous). The trail begins in the village of Fond Gens Libre, south of Soufrière, where you’re teamed with a guide at the visitors’ center. Try to start out early in the morning to avoid hiking in steamy temperatures. Bring lots of water, sunscreen and bug repellent.
