Closed trails in the South of Réunion

A closure on your route? RandoMafate tells you before you set off

In RandoMafate these trails are crossed out on the map, even with no signal, and the route you plan goes around them. A closure lands on an outing you have planned? RandoMafate lets you know.

Other sectors

Before you set off

A trail is closed for a reason: a landslide, a washed-out path, works, fallen trees. Going in means you may not get through, or worse.

This page follows the ONF's trail layer, which RandoMafate reads several times a day, and changes as soon as the ONF updates a trail. On the ground, a barrier, a sign or an official order always prevails over this list.

After heavy rain or in the cyclone season, more trails may be closed before they show here: also check the Météo-France warnings, which RandoMafate shows next to your outing.

Plan your hike without walking into a barrier

The trail map offline, ONF closures and Météo-France warnings in one place, a route that goes around what is closed, and the people close to you told when you set off and when you are back. Mafate is included; the whole island with RandoMafate Premium.
