Testavoyre, Volcanic mountain viewpoint in Queyrières, France
Testavoyre is a volcanic peak rising to about 1436 meters within the Monts du Velay mountain range. The summit and surrounding slopes display numerous rock formations shaped by ancient volcanic activity.
The mountain formed through volcanic activity millions of years ago when the Monts du Velay range was created. This ancient geological process left its mark on the rock formations and overall landscape.
The summit draws hikers from surrounding communities who gather to experience the volcanic landscape firsthand. The place holds meaning for those who appreciate the region's natural character and geological features.
The hiking path starts near the Nordic ski area at the Quatre Routes crossing and is marked with yellow signs for easy navigation. You will also find white and red GR 40 trail markers along the route.
From the summit's flat ridge, the view reaches far across the landscape to include several distant mountain peaks in different directions. Clear days reveal how this location sits within a broader geography of significant highlands.
