The trail is graded as EASY and it follows the contours of the land passing spectacular rock slopes and native vegetation typical of the drier areas of Mahe.
From Glacis there is a fairly steep climb between a few houses to the hamlet of La Gogue and a gentler descent to the picturesque reservoir behind La Gogue Dam.
As some of the segments are slightly difficult and require a minimum amount of climbing it has been designated a MEDIUM walk in which two hours is required to reach the summit and then return.

Bel Air, who beat 2005 League and Cup double achievers AnseEtoile Stars 76-39 in last year's match, were victorious against the same opponents on Sunday on a 51-46 score.
Drafted in to play against AnseEtoile in the absence of 2005 Men division 1B champions MBU Rockers who are following a training camp in Kenya and Uganda until March 12, Pointe Larue Falcons surprised the North Mahe team 67-55.
AnseEtoile’s Christian Toulon matched Gabriel’s score of 21 points and he also finished with three 3-pointers.
PLAYMAKERS Lindy Mathiot (AnseEtoile Stars) and Burtina Désir (Bel Air) had revealed to Sports Nation in a preview to Tuesday's game one of the best-of-three women's Seychelles Basketball Federation (SBF) Cup final, the strategies they were to employ in the match.
The 28-year-old international, determined to make Désir swallow her words, played one of her best matches in a long time to help AnseEtoile Stars win game one 54-49.
With her gloves on to make a number of steals, Mathiot, who netted just one 3-pointer in the match, was Stars' catalyst as she made her teammates feel at ease on the court.
The Kenya Ports Authority women's team yesterday assured themselves of a place in the semi-finals of the East, Central and Southern Africa club championship by drubbing AnseEtoile Stars of the Seychelles 76-40 at Nairobi's Nyayo National Stadium.

After their surprise loss to Hot Shots, Bel Air chose Saturday's fixture against reigning champions AnseEtoile Stars to make their way back in the championship fight.
With four 3-pointers for a joint game-high 12 points along with Genevieve Beaudoin, Dynah Louis tried to save her team in the dying minutes but when she rushed her shots it did not do anything good for the Stars.
With playmaker Thomas Collie serving the first of a four-match ban to add to the absences of Bernard Bristol, Neddy Fanchette (long term bans), Jefferson Nganga (retired) and Stephen Omony (still in his native land Uganda), PLS Hawks knew that playing a full-squad Premium Cobras was a tall order.
This charming double storey guesthouse is situated by the sea at the tip of the headland of AnseEtoile (Bay of Stars) just 15 minutes drive north of Victoria.
Further north of Manresa, a ten-minute drive away is the Carana Beach famed for its rolling waves and white sands.

In the women's League, AnseEtoile Stars, playing without coach Alix Allisop on their bench, eased their worries with a 54-45 victory over Hot Shots who have to go back to the drawing board and see how they can remedy things before they get out of hands.
Until the defeat against Anse Boileau-based Angels, Cobras were well on their way to a first league title in three years after they had gained the upper hand over their rivals PLS Hawks in the first round.
The memory of their defeat to Baya in late May still fresh in their minds, Cobras were extra careful in their strategies on Saturday and came all out to prevent history from repeating itself.
