Wind, swell, light and the trail, in one place.

A closed trail does not close the peninsula. The lagoon, the public beach, the heritage sites and the wider southwest still make a full day.
Trail status questions
Is the Le Morne Brabant trail open today?
Section 1 is open. Section 2 is closed until further notice because of rockfall danger. Access to the summit is prohibited, including with a guide. Stay within Section 1 and follow instructions at the entrance.
What are the official Le Morne opening hours?
Official visitor access runs from 07:00 to 16:00, with the latest hiking start listed at 14:30. These hours come from Le Morne Heritage Trust Fund visitor information and can change. Verify on the day.
Who decides if Le Morne is open or closed?
Le Morne Heritage Trust Fund manages the cultural landscape and publishes visitor access information. Weather, rockfall risk and safety work can close the trail at short notice.
What can I do at Le Morne when the trail is closed?
Postpone the mountain hike. You can read about nearby heritage, food and other places in the day itinerary guide, but check local weather and access restrictions before choosing another outdoor activity.
Why is section 2 of Le Morne closed?
The relevant authorities are assessing the risk from potentially unstable ground and falling rocks. They will provide a further update after the technical assessment and necessary safety measures.
When will section 2 and summit access reopen?
No reopening date has been announced. Wait for the authorities to confirm that Section 2 has reopened. Better weather or a guide booking does not authorise summit access.
Planning the hike itself?
