Mont Aigu, Mountain peak in Ardèche department, France
Mont Aigu is a mountain peak in Ardèche reaching about 1,300 meters with steep slopes that shape the local terrain. The vegetation changes with elevation and the hillside's exposure to sun and wind.
The summit served for centuries as a waypoint for shepherds and travelers moving across mountain paths in the region. The routes hikers follow today partly trace these older passages through the terrain.
Local hikers gather annually at Mont Aigu to mark the arrival of spring according to regional traditions passed down through generations.
The hike to the summit follows marked trails and takes about three hours from the main parking area. Sturdy footwear and plenty of water are important because the paths are steep in places and shade is limited along parts of the route.
From this peak you can see across four French departments at once: Ardèche, Haute-Loire, Lozère, and Gard. On clear days visitors grasp the diversity of the surrounding regions in a single view.
