The Mont Lozère massif sits east of Florac and tops out at 1,699 metres at the Sommet de Finiels — the highest point of the Cévennes. Unlike the limestone causses to the west, it is granite, rounded, and covered in heath and bracken. In winter there is enough snow for a small ski station at Le Bleymard-Mont-Lozère; in summer it is excellent walking country, with the GR7 and the Stevenson trail (GR70) both crossing the summit.
The drive up from Florac via the D998 to Pont-de-Montvert is one of the prettiest in the area, with valleys of chestnut trees giving way slowly to bare granite.
