Starting point: near the war memorial down the church.
Access: D10, village of Fonds-Saint-Denis.
This short walk links Fonds-Saint-Denis and Morne-Rouge. As the project to build a road between the two municipalities has been dropped, hikers can enjoy this trail that crosses the forest along the Mahault River. -

At the end of the plateau, take the path that goes to the left in an alley lined with houses (3). Go down into the valley trough where you will cross two streams and continue. At the crossing, go on the right track which rises below a slope. The slope increases a little and the path continues with the Mahault River in parallel. After an hour's walk from the start, you are at Yang-Ting Pass (4).
On your right, you have the Lacroix hill, on your left, the Fumé hill. The path switches to the other side and goes down to Morne-Rouge. After a long plateau, the trail starts to go down again. At the foot of the slope, stay on the path, do not enter the clearing on the right, continue again but do not miss the track which climbs on the slope in the middle of the bamboos and which will allow you to reach a fence which you will follow up to the Champflore road, the end of the hike.
