Rocher d'Abraham, Mountain summit in Ardèche Cévennes, France
Rocher d'Abraham is a summit in the serre de la Croix de Bauzon, in the Ardèche department, reaching 1,494 metres. Its crest is uneven: pale grey rock outcrops along the top, green vegetation on the lower slopes, and the highest rounded top stands to the left. The summit lies on the boundary of Barnas, La Souche and Mayres, and a road curves across the lower slope below it.
The Rocher d'Abraham lies on the boundary between the communes of Barnas, La Souche and Mayres in the Ardèche department, within the serre de la Croix de Bauzon. Its 1,494 m summit is the highest point of both Barnas and La Souche. The sources record no historical events, construction or human use of the summit itself.
The summit marks the meeting point of three communes: Barnas, La Souche and Mayres. The peak itself lies on the border of these localities, so a walker standing on the crest crosses communal boundaries without any marker. The surrounding slopes belong to the serre de la Croix de Bauzon in the Ardèche department.
The best time to hike is during warmer months when trails are dry and easy to walk. Wear sturdy footwear and bring water and snacks, as there is little shelter along the way from sun and wind.
