Suc de Sara

Suc de Sara is a mountain summit in Ardèche that rises to 1521 meters with steep slopes featuring dense forest and natural rock formations. The narrow crest at the top provides views across the surrounding plateau landscape and the valleys below.

The peak was formed through volcanic activity and shaped by erosion over millions of years. This geological history makes it a significant landmark for understanding how the landscape of the Central Massif developed.

Mountaineers value this peak as a meaningful destination within local hiking traditions of the region. The area sees regular visits from both residents and travelers who combine it with nearby summits for longer excursions.

The ascent starts from the D215 road between Saint-Martial and Borée, where a small parking area is available. The terrain is steep, so sturdy footwear and some stamina are needed for this hike.

On clear days, visitors can spot Mont Blanc from the summit in the distance, making this a special vantage point. This sight line stretches over 200 kilometers, creating an unexpected link to another famous peak.
