Highlight • Summit

You can from the Col de Ceyssat which is at an altitude of 1100 meters climb to the top of Puy de Dôme on foot to reach its summit at 1465 meters above sea level. It is the highest peak of the chain of puys. A path with many steps will lead you there. The Puy de Dôme dominates the city of Clermont-Ferrand. It will also give you a unique view of the rest of the volcanoes. Another way to get there is to take a panoramic cable car which is located a little further to the west.

Lac de Guéry

Highlight (Segment) • Lake

Lake Guéry is a mountain lake of volcanic origin located in the Dore mountains, in the heart of the Massif Central. It is the highest of the Auvergne lakes. Surrounded by mountain pastures, it is located in the Puy-de-Dôme department, in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes administrative region, eight kilometers from the town center of the commune of Mont-Dore, towards Clermont-Ferrand. Since 2021, the lake has been the property of the Puy-de-Dôme departmental council. This lake exists thanks to a basaltic lava flow that created a dam. Lake Guéry is the highest lake in Auvergne at an altitude of 1250m.

View of Roches Tuilière and Sanadoire

Highlight • Viewpoint

A great discovery by chance on a road of the passes planned towards Nice via Ventoux. First pass to stretch your legs. Easy with a plus at the end. A magnificent climb especially towards the end in parts with hairpin bends with this "sugar loaf" in sight...". Absolutely to do...
