This is a popular hiking area in the Auvergne Volcanoes Nature Park. Those who want to hike in nature should set off early.

Very impressive prospects, good to go.

From here, the view of the Puy de Sancy is breathtaking, ideal for a contemplative break during a hike. The summit you are observing is neither more nor less than the highest in the Massif Central. Surrounded by alpine valleys and steep ridges, the sunrises are particularly beautiful.

The Banne d'Ordanche is a 1515 m high volcanic peak in the shape of a neck-shaped crater head. It solidified about 2 million years ago before being planed down by glaciers (https://www.sancy.com/) The views in all directions are phenomenal and the summit is easy to reach - the last part is comfortably via wooden stairs. Due to several nearby car parks, you are rarely alone here in good weather.

At just over 1480m, the Puy Loup offers a great view in all directions. The small refuge on the summit used to be a tower that belonged to a gliding base that was located on the ridge at the beginning of the 20th century: 'Centre national de vol sans moteur de LA BANNE D'ORDANCHE', https://www.anciens-aerodromes.com/

panorama of the Puys chain

La Banne d'Ordanche is a peak of volcanic origin in the Dore Mountains in the Puy-de-Dôme department. It culminates at an altitude of 1,512 m and overlooks the town of La Bourboule. Easily accessible from the Col de Guéry, there is a wonderful 360° panoramic view (orientation table above) of the Puys chain, the Puy de Sancy, but also of the Cantal mountains. Source: Wikipedia

The Sanadoire rock marks the limit between the Dores mountains and the Banne d'Ordanche massif. This rock is the remains of an old volcano eroded by a glacier. The rock emerges as if by magic in the Cirque du Chausse located at the foot of the Col du Guéry. The glacier that occupied the circus has indeed completely eroded the volcano leaving only two bases of lava: the chimney also called Tuilière and the cone called Sanadoire.
