브레존스‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪9‬개의 산길

Col très difficile côté Mandailles. Le pourcentage moyen n’est pas représentatif car il y a une petite descente aux deux tiers de la montée., après un passage de 500 m à 12 %.

Superb and eating at the buron moved

The Rolland Breach was mildly challenging for this 72yo when dry. Descending in the wet would need good grippy footwear. There is an alternative GR400 track bypass

At an altitude of 1,588 meters, the Pas de Peyrol is located between the Puy Mary and the Puy de la Tourte. It is known to be the highest road pass in the Massif Central and is worth it, because the last few kilometers have high percentages. There you can admire Puy Mary which peaks at an altitude of 1,783 metres. It is one of the peaks of the Cantal mountains. It is easily recognizable with its pyramidal silhouette.

A bit of an uphill climb but worth the effort

This spot in the mountains is known as "Breche de ROLAND". However, the origin of the name does not fit into the Auvergne Rhône Alpes region, but must be located in the very west of the country, on the border region between France and Spain. There, in the north of the Pyrenees Mountains, is the home of the legend of Roland as a brave fighter against the Saracens (who had occupied large parts of the Iberian Peninsula) in the service of Emperor Charlemagne.

The Brèche de Roland is located on the long ridge that connects Puy Mary to Peyre-Arse. Its name was given to it in reference to the breach of the same name in the Pyrenees. This breach located at an altitude of 1,647 meters is a delicate passage of the GR 4. Made up of alternating ash beds and scoriaceous strata, it can become slippery in rainy weather.

The Col de Cabre at an altitude of 1,526 meters allows you to pass from the Santoire valley to that of the Jordanne. It offers magnificent views of these valleys. It is also crossed by the GR 4 and 400 (Tour of the Cantal mountains) from Puy Bataillouse to Puy de Peyre-Arse.
