The Montagne du Goulet is a peak located in the eastern part of the Lozère department, reaching an altitude of 1,497 meters and belonging to the Margeride massif.

Taking the shape of an eroded plateau approximately 20 km long in the west–east direction, and 5 to 6 km wide in the north–south direction, the Goulet forms a ridge strictly parallel to that of Mont Lozère (1,699 m) to the south and that of Moure de la Gardille (1,503 m) to the north.

[3] The Montagne du Goulet is geologically linked to the southern Cévennes.

It is formed of shale, and a large fault to the north, oriented east–west, separates it from Triassic and Jurassic transgressive sedimentary formations that overlay the crystalline basement, which extends further north into the Ardèche Cévennes.

[5] The mountain has been heavily forested since the early 20th century, mainly with conifers (spruce and fir).
