Passage of the cog railway

Highlight • Other

The Puys cogwheel train allows their ascent without requiring great effort. It can be an alternative for people who do not feel ready to climb on foot.

Its system of notched rails makes it a very special train, allowing it to climb steep slopes.

Chemin des Muletiers

Highlight • Other

The Chemin des Muletiers is one of the main routes leading to the summit of the Puy de Dôme.

Its steep slope is approached by a path made of about twenty switchbacks. If the trail is not technical, it remains challenging. During the summer, bring enough water to keep you hydrated.
