Col de la Cabane

Mountain Pass

5.17 km

Because its 1,886 meters of altitude project it onto the roof of Auvergne, the Puy de Sancy is considered the king of the Monts Dore.

300,000 years old when its neighbors in Cantal are 20 million years old, this stratovolcano has experienced relentless erosion. As a result, its flanks are notched and the circuses that surround it overflow with majesty. On the neighboring ridges, you can make out jagged rocks in the middle of grassy slopes.

Finally, when the sky is proudly clear, Mont Blanc stands out in the distance...

After its tough ascent, take the time to get drunk on this geological giant.

Donkey's Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The pas de l'Âne is a subject pass of the Puy de Sancy. It is the last stage for walkers from the north.

Be careful, this part of the path can be dizzying.

In winter, it is accessible by chairlift.

Puy de la Perdix

Highlight • Summit

The Puy de la Perdrix is a volcano culminating at 1,824 meters above sea level. Easily accessible on foot from Super-Besse, it is also possible to take the services of the gondola.

At the top, an orientation table is available. On clear days, reading the landscape becomes a game that will appeal to adults and adults alike.
