From 1907 to autumn 1925, a 14.7 kilometer long train ran from Place Lamartine in Clermont-Ferrand at 390 meters to the mountain station at 1414 meters on the Puy de Dôme. A road was subsequently built on the route.

On May 26, 2012, a new rack railway was opened under the name Panoramique des Dômes. The construction of the rack railway to the Puy de Dôme began in 2010. As a first step, the maintenance halls (Center de Maintenance), a valley station (Maison de Site) and a mountain station (Gare de Sommet) were built. In 2011 the actual cogwheel railway was built. Then the test operation began, which had to go through all climatic conditions before the technical approval was granted. The rack railway is one of currently five (as of 2018) existing rack railways in France, next to the Métro Lyon, the Tramway du Mont-Blanc, the Chemin de fer du Montenvers and the Chemin de Fer de la Rhune.

The 5.3 kilometer long route runs mostly on the uphill lane of the existing road, with the downhill lane being retained as an emergency and rescue lane.
