Puy de Sancy
Highlight • Summit
300,000 years old when its neighbors in Cantal are 20 million years old, this stratovolcano has experienced relentless erosion. As a result, its flanks are notched and the circuses that surround it overflow with majesty. On the neighboring ridges, you can make out jagged rocks in the middle of grassy slopes.
Finally, when the sky is proudly clear, Mont Blanc stands out in the distance...
After its tough ascent, take the time to get drunk on this geological giant.

Puy des Crebasses

To the south, the line of ridges takes you towards the Puy de Sancy. To the west, the view of the Cirque de la Dordogne is one of the most beautiful. To the east, the Dent de la Rancune is a dyke (monolith resulting from volcanic phenomena) which serves as a playground for climbing enthusiasts.

Puy de la Tâche

From the top of its 1,629 meters, the panoramic view embraces the entire Mont-Dore valley.
At the top, an old radio shelter is abandoned. During terrible weather episodes, it makes an excellent shelter.
