    At the foot of the Puy de Sancy, at an altitude of 1886 meters and the highest point of the Massif Central, hides the most secret of the Auvergne valleys: the Chaudefour valley. It is also the most beautiful access route to this prestigious summit within the reach of any hiker. Hiking trail, waterfall and dizzying panoramas are on the program, as well as a nature reserve where you have every chance to see marmots, mouflons and chamois.

      Exceptional site ideal for a day hike with passage through the Sancy up the left of the valley and down to the right.
