Hiking

Le Traversin is a plateau nestled in the foothills of the imposing Puy de Dôme.

Place of pasture for cows in the mountain pastures, it is also an ideal dish for the bivouac.

Hiking

Magnificent place with a beautiful view of the Puys mountain range. The fairly easy ascent can be done either by the mule track or by the PR Tour du Puy de Dôme. Be careful, however, of the climatic conditions which can change very suddenly. The chain of puys is the first barrier encountered by cold winds from the Atlantic, which means that the weather is similar to that normally encountered at altitudes of 3000m. It is therefore necessary to equip yourself with a warm change of clothes and a rain jacket.
