Grand Montarnu, Mountain summit in Morvan, France
The Grand Montarnu reaches an elevation of 857 meters, making it the highest point in the Nièvre department within the Morvan regional natural park.
Pyrite deposits in the Grand Montarnu forest were actively mined during the 1840s and 1850s, with traces of these excavations still visible today.
The mountain area contains two distinct forest zones, the Grand Montarnu forest on the eastern slope and Petit Montarnu forest on the western slope.
Hiking trails to the summit start from the village of Arleuf, with marked paths guiding visitors through the forested landscape of the Morvan region.
The summit features a bog that serves as the source of La Cure river, contributing to the ecological diversity of the Morvan mountain range.
