    Hiking

    The Puy de la Vache has a crater due to a lava flow. This flow, with that of the Puy de Lassolas, constitutes the Cheire d'Aydat which created the lakes of Aydat and La Cassière by obstructing the Veyre. Its summit allows you to observe the Puys chain.

    Hiking

    Adjoining the Puy de Lassolas, the Puy de la Vache has the same horseshoe shape as its neighbour.

    These two volcanoes are also the two youngest of the entire chain.

    Hiking

    Crater rim in forest green surroundings, at the summit nice view to the Puy de Dôme and the volcanic landscape. At the southern slope of the foot impressive lava field, dotted with small and large lava bombs.
