    Hiking

    North summit of the two-part Mont Mézenc with a great panorama, weather permitting.
    At 1744m, it is the highest point in the Haute-Loire department. The southern peak already belongs to the department of Ardèche. The iron cross on the north summit was erected by French prisoners upon their return from German camps.
    Like so many peaks in this region, the plateau is of volcanic origin. If you are lucky, you can see marmots on the mountain slopes.

    Mont Mézenc is the highest point of the Ardèche and the Haute-Loire (1,753m).
    On the same crest line as Mont Gerbier-de-Jonc (a few kilometers further south), it forms the watershed line between the Mediterranean (via the Rhône) and the Atlantic (via the Loire).
    It is also an exceptional 360° view over the entire Massif Central and the Alps to the east.
