From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Carbet Mountains (French: Pitons Du Carbet, or Carbet Nails) are a massif of volcanic origin on the Caribbean island of Martinique. The Carbet Mountains occupy an 80 km long path through the centre of the island, and include some of its highest peaks, though Martinique's highest point Mount Pelée is not part of the range.

The mountains are a popular tourist site and hiking and climbing destination.

  • Piton Lacroix or Morne Pavillon (1196 m)
