오리에르‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪8‬개의 산길

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 😉

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

Tuilière and Sanadoire Rocks. Certainly one of the most beautiful viewpoints in the department!

Magnificent view of Lake Guery

very little traffic, a superb panorama and autumn colours

Breathtaking view of the Tuilliere and Sanadoire rocks, remains of two volcanoes. They mark the northern entrance to the Sancy massif and watch over Lake Guéry.

The Col de Guéry, located in the heart of the Auvergne region, offers a picturesque mountain pass experience amidst the volcanic landscapes of the Massif Central. At an altitude of approximately 1,267 metres, the pass offers stunning views of Lake Guéry below, the highest lake in Auvergne. The region is known for its tranquil beauty, with rolling meadows, dramatic volcanic peaks and forests that change colour with the seasons. Nearby Roche Sanadoire and Roche Tuilière add to the spectacular scenery, making it a perfect stop on your hike.

View of the Roche Tuilière (left) and the Roche Sanadoire. The two "guardians" of the Lac du Guery belong to the volcanic massif of the Aiguillier, whose activity period was between 2.2 and 1.8 million years ago. "Lauze" was mined at the Roche Tuilière until the middle of the 20th century. The ballast columns, which were formed by the slow cooling of the lava, crumble into thin, regular plates, the "lauzes". These plates were used to cover roofs instead of tiles (tuiles). This is where the rock got its name.
