East facing table - Mont Mézenc
Highlight • Summit
Both on the west and on the east side panels are set up, with which the near and distant peaks and places can be assigned, and in good weather, the view extends into the Alps.
As there are more parking spaces at the foot of the mountain, it gets quite crowded in good weather. Nevertheless, recommended!

North summit of Mont Mézenc
Highlight • Summit
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.
