Geography
Geology
The mountain is a volcanic dome with a geological formation composed of phonolite.[1]
Flora
The mosaic of groves, scree slopes, and moorlands, in association with the vegetation formation of the Calamagrostis, defines an environment on the northeastern slope of Pic du Lizieux characterized by a high floristic richness, while also displaying a subalpine influence.[2]
Hiking
The Pic du Lizieux is accessible via the Bonas discovery trail.[3]
An orientation table installed on July 12, 1970, provides a panoramic view of the high plateau of Mézenc, the Lignon, a large part of the "Pays des Sucs" and Meygal, and, depending on the clarity of the sky and absence of mist in the Vallée du Rhône, the Alps including Mont Blanc.[4]
