Sports and leisure activities Le Maïdo

At an altitude of 1,500 m, the toboggan park offers you a variety of activities at low cost: pony rides in the surrounding forest, archery courses, remote-controlled boat races for the marmailles at the wheel of a large console overlooking the park's pool. Don't let the old-fashioned look impress you and dare to climb the steps. You'll discover the main attraction: a toboggan run that runs down 450 m through a garden of hydrangeas and longoses (no matter what age, everyone wants more)!

The Grand Bénare is one of the most beautiful viewpoints of the island, with its 2 896 m, it is also one of the highest summits. But be careful, it must be earned. You will have to get up early, very early, before the sun would be ideal, in order not to be disturbed by the clouds. The departure is made from the Maïdo, then you follow the Grand Bord path which dominates Mafate, halfway up, with the Piton des Neiges in front of you. At the top of the Grand Bénare, a spectacular panorama: the cirques of Mafate, Cilaos, the Grand Morne and the Trois Salazes is offered to you.
