The Grande Pierre Bazanne

Highlight • Summit

The great Pierre Bazanne, 1,394 meters high, is a neck of volcanic origin emerging from the high stubble of Forez. Above the forests, it offers a 360-degree panorama. Unusual: this basalt block freaks out compasses!

Refuge du Garnier

Highlight • Mountain Hut

On the bucolic heights of the Forez mountains, the Garnier inn welcomes hikers all summer long. Local menus are also served there. The Fourme de Montbrison fondue is delicious.
