SAINT LUCIA VACATION | Climbing Gros Piton in Soufrière
That's the second time I’m climbing Gros Piton. It was out last week in St.Lucia and we decided that we should do the climb on the weekend before we head back to Europe. It is definitely a MUST DO for anyone in St. Lucia or visiting! ⛰????????
We did the video because we want to show how the trail really is, so that if you are to go and climb it you have some expectations. This idea came about after we asked a few people to join us, but they thought it is too dangerous. I was a bit shocked when I heard that as I had climbed it before and it is a shaded track, with steps and railings at some parts.
Our friendly tour guide Kevin from the Soufriere Regional Foundation told us more about the trail and how to stay safe when climbing Gros Piton. The Foundation is a non-profit and is established by the people of Soufriere to promote, encourage, support, facilitate and coordinate local development initiatives in the Soufriere region. It is doing great at conserving and the Gros Piton Nature Trail. Check them out here

St. Lucia Gros Piton Hike
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
Gros Piton is one of two mountains south of the town Soufrière in the southwest of Saint Lucia. Lying at the southern end of Pitons Bay, it rises to a height of 786 m (2619 ft). It is the second highest peak on Saint Lucia, after Mount Gimie.
Gros Piton can be climbed without ropes or mountaineering experience -- great physical conditioning will let one hike to the summit and come back down to the sea-level within a few hours. Be warned, that although the pamphlets given out on the island describe the hike as moderate difficulty, but strenuous at times, the trail itself is actually quite aggressive. The most active trail guide states that upwards of 50% of tourists do not make it to the top, as the trail itself is certainly not of moderate difficulty in any sense. Those who have never hiked will have great difficulty getting to the summit, and those who do not consider themselves to be in good shape should reconsider an attempt.

St. Lucia Caribbean Vacation - Hiking the Pitons
This year we decided to celebrate Thanksgiving in St Lucia, escaping Michigan's winter weather. The highlight of our trip to St. Lucia was hiking the Pitons (Gros Piton). Our local driver said we were crazy and while that might be true the view was worth it. Luckily we had a nice breeze during our climb, it's known to get uncomfortably hot. If anyone sees our guide Elvin, please tell him that we said hi!
We stayed at James Club Morgan Bay, Saint Lucia, though we've heard good things about the Sandals resorts as well. A piece of advice for those traveling to Saint Lucia, use the excursions offered by locals near your beach vs buying them through the resort. Ask around, it's likely other guests already gave them a try. Please feel free to share the details about your St. Lucia vacation in the comments.

Gros Piton Hike St. Lucia:
Despite its fearsome reputation, let’s be clear here: Gros Piton (2600ft) is no Everest. Thousands have climbed St Lucia’s unique cone-like mountain and thousands more will manage it. The first people to do so were runaway slaves, who carved out the trails some 300 years ago to escape sugar plantation masters by setting up home in the caves that pockmark the peak.
These days descendants of those slaves are settled in the village at the base of Gros Piton in the heroically named Fond Gens Libre (Valley of the Free People), from where one can tackle any ascent of the mountain. Some of the residents act as tour guides for visitors intent on reaching the Piton’s summit: in peak travel season they can sometimes be seen scaling the mountain more than once a day, which explains why they don’t appear to break a sweat while doing it.
