마자예 최고의 사이클링 경로

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 😉

Beautiful viewpoint, and below an old volcanic rock quarry.

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

A very well-preserved example of medieval military architecture. This castle was built in the 12th century by Robert Dauphin, Count of Auvergne, to defend the Sioule bridge and was enlarged in the 15th century by Gilbert III de LaFayette, Field Marshal of France. The keep and six towers are still preserved. The castle is inhabited by the descendants of the Moré de Pontgibaud family, who have owned it since 1756. At the end of the 19th century, the interior was restored in a harmonious style by Count Caesar III. Website: http://www.chateaudauphin.com

Puy Chaumont is a volcanic peak which offers panoramic views of the surrounding countryside and Puy de Dôme, the highest volcano in the region. The summit of Puy Chaumont is marked by a cross and a view point over the Clermont-Ferrand valley. Visit Puy Chaumont in spring or summer to enjoy the colorful wildflowers and butterflies that adorn the landscape.

An unmissable view of the Puy de Côme. You will not regret having stopped to appreciate this breathtaking panorama.

Just on your right!! turning your head le puy!!!!

Error or ignorance: there is no panoramic cable car to reach the summit of the Puy de Dôme. There is only a panoramic cogwheel train that leaves from the bottom of the volcano. The journey offers the possibility of seeing superb points of view. Other information: the road bordering the train track is a service road. It is prohibited for cars and bicycles. From time to time, thanks to sporting events, it is exceptionally open to cyclists. This road will be taken in July 2023 by the riders of the Tour de France in the final of one of the stages run in Auvergne.
