Mont Bar

Volcano, Red volcano in Allègre

  • Mont Bar is a unique European volcano, the only one of the Strombolian type with a peat bog in its crater.

    Hike: 2 hours (round trip), 160 m of ascent. Wear good walking shoes (steep path). Four interpretation panels have been set up in the crater. Parking: Allègre community centre.
