The town of Murat is located in the heart of the Monts du Cantal, so it is particularly recommended to go there to explore this magnificent region. The city has a train station and it is easy to get there, for example by taking a train from Clermont-Ferrant.

Hiking

Due to its location on the eastern edge of the Monts du Cantal, it is a place of longing. You can easily get there by train or leave the car at the campsite for a few days. In the central square there is everything you need: market, cafes, bakery, shops and souvenirs.
