Mont Lozère walks

Mont Lozère rises to 1,699 metres, making it the highest point in the Cévennes. However, its geological nature sets it apart from the rest of the massif. This imposing granite wall closes off the schist valleys of the Cévennes and heralds the high plateaus of southern Auvergne. It also offers magnificent views of all the peaks of the southern Massif Central, as far as Mont Ventoux. Best explored in good weather.

A peaceful walk for the whole family along the Felgérolles irrigation channel to the Tarn bridge.

Menhirs are found in Brittany. The proof: the name itself is of Breton origin (maen hir = long stone). And even more so when they are made of granite. But if I told you that one of Europe's main megalithic sites is in Lozère, would you believe me? The standing stones along this route at the foot of Mont Lozère are like those scattered by Tom Thumb: just follow them to find your way.

The Col de Finiels is the road crossing over Mont Lozère, between its two peaks, Finiels and Pic Cassini.
