About

Bozel (73350)

The top: La Dent du Villard is located at 2284 m.

Geology: La Dent du Villard is an extrusion of gypsum (calcium sulphate), one of the most massive in France. This permeable mineral, partly soluble under rainwater, produces phantasmagoric reliefs, with sharp edges and conical hollows called “dissolution funnels.”

Since Dent du Villard is a Natura 2000 area, the flora contains many rare or remarkable species (Sabot de Venus, etc).
