"Walked from 0 ft starting at the beach in Port Glaud at the bottom of Sans Soucis road. Followed road, which is steep enough for a vehicle, just past the tea plantation and followed the Morne Blanc trail signposted a couple of hundred metres further on. The trail is easy enough to follow though mind the granite boulders. A wooden platform awaits at the top, and for me, a massive rainforest cloud which decided to stay in for the day." — carl-anacoura • Sep 10, 2016
"To an avid and serious hiker/short-term-visitor in Seychelles, the dilemma remains whether to go up this highest mountain at all (I talk of the Morne Seychellois – the 905m highest peak of Mahe) and if to go, go with a guide or just take to the route with the help of the markings, imagining the markings were to exist.
With this in mind and somehow getting to know the starting point of the trek, we took a stand to accomplish this once and for all. But the idea remained that some research and patience should be invested into this venture before we really do it. To assuage our feeling, we did a half way uphill trek to ascertain what is the route like; is it doable within the confines of the daylight without a guide; are there markings; does it involve rock climbing in the end and some more such questions. The assurances on these above points received by us on our exploratory visit were good enough to enroll us for the task; so we set out to do this when the weather presented itself clear.
Since the route (at least till the half way) is confusing in parts and one could end up elongating one’s journey by going various ways, even sometimes coming back a certain length to get on the..." — rajeevseth • Aug 3, 2014
"As is known, the gradual walk till the viewpoint where one finds a wooden table to relax and enjoy the view is easy to climb. On sunny days, the views are amazing. Walking easy will take 40-45 minutes at the most.
For the next episode of vertical climbing, as compared to my last two visits in the past, this latest trip came as a small surprise as some investment seems to have been made into the uphill forest route in terms of situating some wooden (tree-branch) ladders where it is difficult to climb five-to-six feet height uptakes. For some it can be a welcome break; for others it could seem to take the sheen away for marking its difficulty meter. Although we visited the Holy Cross on top of the mountain on a Sunday morning and did not see a soul en-route, yet tell-tale signs were that some local persons have been engaged to gather and get the trail rid of the plastic debris left behind by the visitors who chose to come up later during the daylight. By the sheer number of collected plastic bags and bottles at specific places during the route, one could imagine an increase in the people trying to make it to the top. Despite this bona fide effort, the worrying factor was the numbe..." — rajeevseth • Jul 27, 2014
"Our guide, Hansel Simara, took us up to the summit starting from Sans Souci and we were at the cross at the summit by midday. Great views of Victoria and the East coast of Mahe. If you want a guide for the Seychelles peaks Hansel is your man - Knowledgeable and enthusiastic. " — edwin1 • Apr 13, 2012
