A beautiful, partly shady climb from Claux to the pass. Then the real challenge begins at Puy Mary.

Magnificent view, just be careful sometimes there are horses and the descent is not easy there are stones

The Haut-Cantal Puy Mary Nordic area offers more than 60 kilometres of snowshoe and cross-country ski trails. The area is accessible via two gateways: Lascourt and the Col de Serre, here at an altitude of 1,200 metres.

This pass is rather easy if we compare it with what awaits us, the Puy Mary

PLEASE NOTE: Passing through this site in September 2023, access is now closed to the buron in good condition (sealed closure for hikers, surveillance camera, etc.). The only accessible buron has partially collapsed, the roof has collapsed as well as part of the walls, it simply provides shelter from the wind
