Nevis Peak
A dormant volcano about 985 meters high at the center of Nevis Island. Its cloud-wrapped cone is the most recognizable landscape of the twin islands.
Nevis Peak is the heart of Nevis Island. Its slopes are steep and densely forested, and the route to the summit requires ropes in places. The round trip takes about 4 to 5 hours, and a licensed guide is required. For an easier outing, walk the rainforest trails near Golden Rock Estate on the mountainside to look for monkeys. Even if you don't climb, the views from Pinney's Beach or Cades Bay are superb.
