Signal du Luguet

The Signal du Luguet rises to 1,557 meters above sea level, marking the highest elevation point in the Cézallier mountains of the Massif Central.

The mountain formation dates back approximately 5 million years, resulting from ancient lava lakes that solidified and underwent substantial erosion processes.

Local inhabitants from the village of Anzat-le-Luguet have traditionally used the summit as a reference point for weather observations and regional navigation.

Hikers can access the summit through an 8.4-kilometer trail network, with designated parking areas available at the base of the mountain.

The eastern face features the Artout cirque, a glacial valley formed by snow accumulation from prevailing western winds during the last ice age.
