Mont Aigoual, Mountain summit in Lozère, France
Mont Aigoual rises to 1567 meters within the Cévennes National Park, offering views of thirteen French departments, the Mediterranean Sea, and distant Alpine peaks.
The mountain's weather observatory, constructed from 1887 to 1894, remains France's last inhabited mountain meteorological station, continuing daily measurements and observations.
The annual transhumance festival in June features decorated sheep flocks moving through l'Espérou village, maintaining traditional pastoral practices of the Cévennes region.
The Prat Peyrot ski resort near the summit presents fourteen alpine runs during winter, while numerous marked trails accommodate hiking and mountain biking in warmer months.
Mont Aigoual records France's highest precipitation levels, receiving 2250 millimeters annually due to its location where Atlantic and Mediterranean weather systems meet.
