Roc'h Trevezel, Mountain summit in Finistère, France
Roc'h Trevezel is a 384-meter summit in the Monts d'Arrée range in Brittany, forming a distinctive northern boundary of the Saint-Michel depression. The mountain can be reached by multiple marked hiking trails from various access points in the surrounding area.
The mountain formed from the ancient Hercynian mountain chain over 320 million years ago. Erosion and geological change gradually shaped the peak we see today throughout this vast span of time.
The mountain appears in Breton folk traditions, where local stories and legends have connected people to this landscape for centuries. Visitors can sense this cultural bond through the names and tales still shared by residents in the region.
Multiple marked trails lead to the summit with parking areas at the base and access points nearby in the communes around the mountain. The best conditions for hiking occur during warmer months when trails are dry and easy to navigate.
The mountain is made of quartzite and schist layers, rock types that give it structural strength. Interestingly, this peak marks the highest point along the Paris-Brest-Paris cycling route.
