Monts d'Ambazac, Mountain range in Haute-Vienne, France.
The Monts d'Ambazac extends 40 kilometers from east to west, reaching an elevation of 701 meters with granite and leucogranite geological formations.
During the second half of the 20th century, this mountain range contained the primary uranium mining operations in France, with extractions continuing for several decades.
The mountains hold significance as the founding location of the Grandmont monastic order, centered around their namesake abbey in the medieval period.
The area contains extensive hiking networks with marked trails connecting multiple villages, including paths from Ambazac to Compreignac and Saint-Pardoux.
The Dauges peat bog nature reserve spans 200 hectares and houses 2,200 animal and plant species in a former dried lake bed.
