The Rolland Breach was mildly challenging for this 72yo when dry. Descending in the wet would need good grippy footwear. There is an alternative GR400 track bypass

good summit accessible from both the north side (classic path) and the south side (off-trail) but completely doable on foot using your hands

This spot in the mountains is known as the "Breche de ROLAND." However, the name doesn't originate from the Auvergne Rhône-Alpes region, but rather must be located in the far west of the country, on the border between France and Spain. There, in the northern Pyrenees, the legend of Roland as a brave fighter against the Saracens (who had occupied large parts of the Iberian Peninsula) in the service of Emperor Charlemagne is rooted.

Here begin the characteristic steps that allow access to the Puy Mary. The result is a beautiful perspective of this emblematic summit of the Cantal mountains.

At an altitude of 1,588 meters, the Pas de Peyrol is located between the Puy Mary and the Puy de la Tourte. It is known to be the highest road pass in the Massif Central and is worth it, because the last few kilometers have high percentages. There you can admire Puy Mary which peaks at an altitude of 1,783 metres. It is one of the peaks of the Cantal mountains. It is easily recognizable with its pyramidal silhouette.

In a wind that dehorns the oxen, sublime landscapes in all seasons!
