Puy de Sancy

Because its 1,886 meters of altitude project it onto the roof of Auvergne, the Puy de Sancy is considered the king of the Monts Dore.

300,000 years old when its neighbors in Cantal are 20 million years old, this stratovolcano has experienced relentless erosion. As a result, its flanks are notched and the circuses that surround it overflow with majesty. On the neighboring ridges, you can make out jagged rocks in the middle of grassy slopes.

Finally, when the sky is proudly clear, Mont Blanc stands out in the distance...

After its tough ascent, take the time to get drunk on this geological giant.

Superb view of the whole massif, pleasant path in the anti-clockwise direction because superb view of the exposed part of Sancy.
To do fresh!

A cracking 19km horseshoe taking in all the high points of the mont dore area of Auvergne including Puy De Sancy at 1885m. Plenty of parking at the start point, even for motor homes. Excellent route.
