GR®68 Around Mont Lozere

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 been deeply influenced by the Protestant religion, as the mountain range served as a refuge for the Camisards during the Wars of Religion. The local economy today rests on a fragile balance between mountain agriculture and ecotourism, attracting hikers following in the footsteps of Robert Louis Stevenson. Biodiversity here is exceptional: one might spot the short-toed eagle soaring above rare flora such as the sundew and the alpine anemone.
