Mount Redon, Volcanic summit in Puy-de-Dôme, France
Mont Redon rises to 872 meters in elevation, featuring rock formations of basaltic prisms and remnants of medieval fortifications at its peak.
A medieval castle owned by the Bishops of Clermont in the 13th century stood at the summit until its destruction in 1587.
The stones from a Romanesque parish church at the mountain's base were repurposed in 1867 to construct the church of Ponteix.
Multiple hiking trails lead to the summit from Ponteix village, with a marked yellow path requiring approximately 2 hours and 15 minutes to complete.
The mountain contains a preserved ancient volcanic chimney dating from the Tertiary period, displaying geological structures from its formation.
