Pierre Pamole, Mountain summit in Monts du Forez, France.

Pierre Pamole reaches an elevation of 1,198 meters above sea level, standing as a prominent granite peak in the Monts du Forez mountain range.

The mountain area remained undeveloped until 2007, when local initiatives enhanced the natural granite formations at the summit for improved visitor access.

Local folklore tells of the Devil's failed journey from Clermont-Ferrand to Lyon, resulting in his disappearance near the sacred springs of Notre-Dame de l'Hermitage.

The summit trail begins at Noirétable via D53 road, covering 13 kilometers with 450 meters of elevation gain through forest paths and mountain terrain.

A single tree known as 'l'arbre du diable' stands in isolation near the trail, garnering attention from visitors for its distinct appearance.
