Massif du Lizieux

Partage :

The Lizieux massif is classified as a Natura 2000 area and as a "Volcanoes in Freedom" site. It is home to roe deer, wild boar, marten, ermine and over 100 species of birds, as well as rare species such as the European beaver and pearl mussels.

Lizieux peak:
The Haut-Lignon has a crystalline surface covered on its western side by volcanic formations: the 12.7 million-year-old Lizieux peak.
Viscous lava flow and lava dome. It represents the exit point of a viscous lava flow that spread out on either side to form the plateau at its base.
From the summit, surrounded by scree from the last Ice Age, you can enjoy a superb 360° panorama of the Mézenc and Meygal mountain ranges.
