Le Gros Mont

Le Gros Mont reaches an elevation of 688 meters and features multiple hiking paths through dense forest sections leading to open viewpoints.

The summit has served as a geographical marker for local communities since the medieval period, guiding travelers through the Burgundy region.

Local wine producers reference the summit's soil composition when discussing the mineral characteristics found in their regional varieties.

The summit trail network includes four marked paths ranging from 3 to 8 kilometers, with signposts indicating difficulty levels and estimated walking times.

The north face of Le Gros Mont contains specific limestone formations that support rare orchid species found only in this part of Burgundy.
