Mont-Dore Thermal Baths

Highlight • Monument

Entirely renovated since 2015, the thermal baths of Mont-Dore are a place of serenity immersed in the heart of the charming city center.

Classified in the register of Historic Monuments, the buildings respond to a neo-Byzantine style. In the city of dark stones drawn from the volcanic mountains, the architecture stands out.

The Grande Cascade of Mont-Dore

Highlight • Waterfall

The Grande Cascade is one of the water curiosities that overlooks the spa town of Mont-Dore. It rises in the high plateaus of Durbise at an altitude of 1,450 meters to fall into an incredible cataract 32 meters high. It becomes the largest waterfall in Auvergne and, above all, a true natural monument.

At its feet, you can simply admire it from the wooden bridge that crosses the river or the rocks that outcrop it. The more adventurous can try the adventure at the back of the waterfall.

Mont-Dore

Highlight • Settlement

Mont-Dore is both a spa and a ski resort, but also a very beautiful massif. It is a very good meeting point to explore the surrounding beauty of the mountains.
