Col du Pré de la Dame

Col du Pré de la Dame is a mountain pass in Lozère that sits at approximately 1474 meters, creating a passage through the region's high plateaus. The road connects valleys on both sides and offers views across the open grasslands.

This pass developed as an important trade route where merchants and travelers crossed the Mont Lozère region. It has remained a key connection between isolated mountain communities throughout the centuries.

Local farmers maintain traditional agropastoral practices in the surrounding grasslands, contributing to the preservation of open landscapes in the region.

The road is drivable by car during summer months, but winter snow and ice can make it impassable. Plan for changing mountain weather and bring appropriate clothing when visiting the pass.

The pass is surrounded by peat bogs and seasonal vegetation patterns that reveal changing landscapes to visitors throughout the year. These wet habitats support specialized plant species found nowhere else in the region.
