Circuit n° 11 : Le Pied du Fraisse
Lanobre
Opening period
All year round.
Description
A hike to the highest point (808 m) in the commune of Lanobre. The Fraysse site, a volcanic vestige of the Artense plateau, offers a 360° panorama and an orientation table.
Some fifty volcanic edifices are scattered from the Artense to the Sumène and Dordogne valleys. Erected between 10 and 6.5 million years ago, all that remains of these volcanoes today are a few buttes, the remains of their chimneys (necks), a few prismatic flows and some spectacular domes and dome-falls. The volcanoes here are monogenic in nature, with each eruption producing just one type of lava in a short space of time.
