The Sanadoire rock marks the limit between the Dores mountains and the Banne d'Ordanche massif.This rock is the remains of an old volcano eroded by a glacier. The rock emerges as if by magic in the Cirque du Chausse located at the foot of the Col du Guéry.The glacier that occupied the circus has indeed completely eroded the volcano leaving only two bases of lava: the chimney also called Tuilière and the cone called Sanadoire.
