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.
