Peyre de Bard, Mountain summit in Saint-Julien-Chapteuil, France.
The Peyre de Bard stands 1200 meters high in the Massif du Meygal region, featuring a distinctive dome shape formed by phonolite rock formations.
The mountain emerged through volcanic activity, creating a sugar loaf shaped peak that stands as a testament to the region's geological evolution.
Local inhabitants constructed traditional stone houses with slate roofs near the mountain, incorporating the natural resources of the volcanic landscape.
The ascent takes approximately 35 minutes with a 105-meter elevation gain, starting from a parking area located 450 meters past La Faye hamlet.
The summit offers views of Mont Rouge, the Mont Meygal massif, and the Puy-en-Velay basin through a network of marked trails and stone walls.
