Either stressful or relaxed from Puy Mary.

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

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.

From Salers, a pass with low percentages but with a magnificent view of the Santoire valley.

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!

Great all-round view. Even though the entire ascent from the parking lot is concrete, it still remains steep.
