Le Bessat

Le Bessat lies near the headwaters of the Furan in the Pilat massif, where woodland and upland grazing country climb towards Crêt de la Perdrix, the range’s highest summit. This small Loire commune belongs to Pilat Regional Natural Park, created in 1974 to protect a mosaic of forests, heath, farmland and villages between the Rhône valley and the industrial basin of Saint-Étienne. Le Bessat is a winter base for Nordic skiing, while warmer months bring walkers and cyclists onto the forest roads and long-distance routes of the massif. Its setting gives a clear sense of the upland Pilat, away from the larger cities below. Move on to other webcams in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes to compare landscapes and settings around the Pilat massif.
