The Puy de Lassolas is the twin of the Puy de la Vache: these two volcanoes were born during the same eruption. Their lava flow created the Aydat and Cassière lakes by obstructing the Veyre. The summit of its cinder cone allows you to observe the Chaine des Puys.

Hiking

A veritable volcano in the Puys chain, the Puy de Lassola has sandy red soil!

It is the youngest of the chain which has nearly 80 volcanoes.

Its summit, which culminates at 1,187 meters above sea level, offers an exceptional 360-degree view of the Puys chain.

Hiking

A crater rim with wide views of the volcanic landscape. The ascent from the south in full sun and somewhat laborious in the soft, sandy lava background, but always worthwhile! Very nice the crossing to the Puy de la Vache.
