The Élancèze dominates at 1,565 meters the valley of the Jordanne and Mandailles to the north and the valley of the Cère and Thiézac to the south. It thus offers a magnificent view of the Cantal mountains.

Hiking

The somewhat arduous ascent over a stony forest path is definitely worth it because of the view and the rare plants that can be admired here. The tour is classified as easy, but should only be attempted with hiking boots and poles because of the stones and the gradient. At the top you should be free from giddiness - then the tour is an absolute highlight!
