ボルヴィックの絶景の山頂・トップ14

Puy with the most frequented crater in the area

Ancient Roman sanctuary restored

The path to the crater's interior remains closed. A large information sign explains the problems of erosion and demonstrates the difficulty of restoring the path.

It's better to go up via Ceyssat and come back down via Orcines. The climb still hurts but there's less traffic and the descent is worth it 😉

An easy climb through the forest, you'll discover a magnificent view of the surrounding area and the Puy de Dôme, an incredible panorama. Accessible by steps as well.

Temple construction in the 2nd century on the summit of the Puy de Dôme. The Temple of Mercury, built on the summit of the Puy de Dôme, was one of the largest mountain sanctuaries in Roman Gaul. It could be seen from a great distance, including from the city of Augustonemetum, present-day Clermont-Ferrand. The Via Agrippa, a highway from Lyon, the capital of Gaul, to Saintes on the Atlantic, allowed travelers to reach the shrine via the pilgrimage center at the Col de Ceyssat.

Possibility of having a drink and/or something to eat just opposite the pass sign

Nice hike to do with children
