GR®68 Tour of Mont Lozère: Hiking Loop from Villefort (Lozère)

Mont Lozère, the highest peak in the Cévennes, is a land of granite where history and nature intertwine in a wild landscape of moors and rocky outcrops. Shaped by agro-pastoralism, its living heritage is expressed through sheep and cattle farming, marked by the centuries-old tradition of transhumance. Its inhabitants, heirs to a culture of resilience, have left their mark through dry-stone walls, waymarked drailles (ancient drove roads) and the remarkable Pont-de-Montvert, village of memory. The flora includes vast heathlands of purple heather, high-altitude bogs and Atlantic peat bogs that are home to rare carnivorous plants. The wolf has returned to the Lozère, joining the capercaillie and the bearded vulture as emblematic species of this wild massif.
