Puy de Paillaret, Mountain summit in Monts Dore, France
The Puy de Paillaret rises to 1,721 meters in altitude between the communes of Picherande and Besse-et-Saint-Anastaise in the Massif Central.
The mountain formed as an ancient lava dome, creating geological structures primarily composed of andesite rock through volcanic activity in the Massif Central.
The mountain forms part of the Natura 2000 site Monts Dore, recognized for its ecological value and protected status within French natural heritage.
Hikers can access the summit via marked trails from Col du Couhay, with the ascent requiring proper mountain equipment and weather monitoring.
The southern exposure and dry conditions of the peak support rare plant species, including tussock fescue and black crowberry in subalpine environments.
