Outing at the top of the varied and superb landscapes! Be careful however for outings at the end of winter: some sections are impassable because of mud, put on the studded tires of your gravel. Passages in the undergrowth on the last 15 km are complicated requiring you to carry the bike (fallen trees, difficult path...)

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.
