Thefourth and final stage: whilst the Velay plateau offers gentle terrain and accessible slopes, the Ardèche side of the Mézenc is much more challenging. Erosion has washed away the volcanic scoria that once surrounded the ancient magma chimneys, leaving only hard-to-reach knolls, such as the most famous of these, Mont Gerbier de Jonc. Fortunately, however, there are also paths that allow you to reach the heights in a very pleasant way.
