Description :
The Mont Dore massif is a typical high-mountain area with nival relief dominant above the timberline. Nivation, cryogenic processes and deflation are the key morphogenic processes, but runoff action, especially on slopes with deteriored vegetation cover, plays an equally important role due to the dominant maritime climate.
