Col de la croix Saint-Robert

Highlight • Mountain Pass

This pass is long when you come from Besse, but it is in the last five kilometers that it takes on its true grandeur, especially if there is wind... The landscapes are never monotonous and damn, that the mountain is beautiful!

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.

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 volcano cabins

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Les Cabanes des Volcans is a residential leisure park offering unusual accommodations. In this case, it consists of six cabins nestled in the treetops. If you decide to shorten your route, this place can be a good idea for an overnight stay.

La Tour d’Auvergne Center

Highlight • Settlement

La Tour-d'Auvergne is a very old village which finds its foundations on a basalt peak, the vestige of a volcanic flow from the great volcano that was the Sancy massif. In the town you can admire the basalt columns to the left of the church. These are geological formations that result from the solidification of a basaltic flow shortly after its emission, which attests to the proximity of the volcanic crater.
