Truc de Fortunio, Mountain summit in Lozère, France
Truc de Fortunio is a mountain summit in Lozère that reaches 1552 meters and forms the highest point of the Margeride region. The peak rises from a plateau landscape with rocky slopes and open views across the surrounding highlands.
The summit has long served as a key navigation reference point on the Charpal Plateau for local communities. Its prominent position eventually made it suitable for installing communication infrastructure in recent decades.
The exposed granite at the summit shows the raw geology of the Margeride massif. These stone formations shape how the landscape appears and feels to those who walk here.
The summit is reachable by taking the D59 road from Rieutort De Randon toward Estables, then following D3 until you see directional signs. Weather conditions matter here since elevation means wind and changing conditions can shift quickly.
A telecommunications tower rises 105 meters from the summit and has broadcast television signals across the region since 2009. The tall structure is visible from a great distance and shows how modern technology found its place on this remote mountain peak.
