About Mont Lozère
A vast granite dome of open moorland and scattered boulders, the Mont Lozère rises to 1,699 metres in the heart of the Cévennes National Park, its bare summit of Finiels the highest point of the wider Cévennes. From its slopes springs the river Tarn, and its windswept heaths, dry-stone hamlets and grazing sheep have a stark, elemental beauty. Robert Louis Stevenson crossed it with his donkey in 1878, and today the trail that bears his name still climbs over the mountain. Walkers follow granite waymark stones through a landscape of broom, granite tors and huge skies, while transhumant flocks move up in summer. Remote, silent and severe, the Mont Lozère is one of the wildest highlands in southern France.
