Rocher d'Abraham, Mountain summit in Ardèche Cévennes, France
The Rocher d'Abraham reaches an elevation of 1,498 meters and stands as the highest point between the municipalities of Barnas, La Souche, and Mayres.
The mountain paths leading to Rocher d'Abraham were established over centuries by shepherds and local inhabitants who crossed these heights for their daily activities.
A two-meter-tall statue created by sculptor Pierre-Louis Chipon stands at the summit, commemorating Jean Gilly, a notable hiker from the Ardèche region.
The hiking trail begins behind the church of Mayres and follows the Saint Martin stream for 13.62 kilometers, requiring seven hours to complete the round trip.
During clear weather conditions, the summit provides views extending to Mont Blanc, Mont Gerbier de Jonc, and the entire Cévennes mountain range.
