Montagne de Lure, Mountain range in Saint-Étienne-les-Orgues, France

The Montagne de Lure extends over 40 kilometers through the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence region, featuring a succession of ridges, forests, and alpine meadows reaching 1,826 meters.

The Lure Abbey, established in 1166 by the Chalaisian order, became a significant religious center that influenced the region's development for several centuries.

Shepherds have shaped the landscape of Montagne de Lure through generations, leaving behind numerous sheepfolds constructed during the nineteenth century.

The network of marked trails allows hikers to explore the mountain through four main routes, with parking areas strategically placed at starting points.

The presence of the Orsini viper, a rare species in France, makes Montagne de Lure a protected natural site requiring specific conservation measures.
