サン＝ヴィクトール＝モンヴィアネのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

great ride but remember to charge the batteries before leaving.....

Approximately 19 meters high, this dam holds back water from the Credogne and Etivaux streams. It also provides a peaceful place to relax.

The Puy de Montoncel is an extinct volcano, culminating at an altitude of 1,287 meters. In a notebook, I wrote about it: "Its slopes are covered with a majestic thorn forest, with an archaic, sometimes primal beauty. The rare paths that cut through the woods wind along the slopes, in the shade of the green giants. These paths are the veins of the forest. They are tunnels of abundant oxygen. From meadows to groves, I feel as if I'm floating on an ocean of nature. At the summit of the puy, I find a plateau devoid of trees as if blown by the wind, and topped with a thick thatch. A huge iron cross rises into the sky, looking mischievously at the wind turbines on the neighboring ridges, which come to life with the sound of the air." I sit down on a wide carpet of green grass, a veritable velvet to rest my body after this first, sweaty climb. I light a pipe and cheerfully observe the Auvergne volcanoes that swell the horizon. Their supple, rounded shapes give the impression of observing distant hills. Puy-de-Dôme, Monts Dore, Puy-de-Sancy, I amuse myself by guessing the roofs I was clambering over the previous year.

Very beautiful, totally exotic road! It feels like you're somewhere else and you really feel like you've traveled when you come out of the dark woods! For more advice, don’t hesitate to follow us on all networks @chouchou_team

The Col de la Plantade is a road pass also accessible via the trails from Les Robinots.

From the Col de la Plantade and taking the direction of La Guillermie, in the descent, the view will emerge on your left. It is possible to continue a little further down and take advantage of a path to take a break.

Nice pass at 870m referenced to the Puy de Dôme cyclo-passes Very nice gradual climb on the Palladuct side
