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

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.

nice walk but there is a very hilly section about 1km

A superb climb to start from Chabreloche with very high percentages to arrive at Arconsat then a regular slope, cool in the fir trees even in the heart of summer! The descent to Saint Priest La Prugne is very beautiful! The ascent to the other side is also very pleasant! For more advice, don’t hesitate to follow us on all networks @chouchou_team

very nice climb from St Priest la Prugne

About one meter high and reminiscent of a skull with its two eyes, it is said that this stone symbolizes "Consciousness".

Undoubtedly the most remarkable building of Chabreloche, inaugurated on July 20 and 21, 1935, added to its namesake place the perspective is the most beautiful effect.
