Copolia trail

The Copolia trail is a short, steep walk through forest inside Morne Seychellois National Park, from the road above Victoria to a bare granite summit. From the top you look over Victoria, the east coast and the islands of Ste Anne Marine National Park.

The Seychelles Parks and Gardens Authority charges Rs100 and the trail is open daily from 08:00 to 16:00. Payment is by card only, and tickets can be bought online. Start early: the summit is often clearer in the morning and the forest is cooler. Wear shoes with grip, as the rock and roots are slippery after rain, and take water.
