Puy de Sancy

Highlight • Summit

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.

Courre Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

In a setting worthy of a Game of Thrones, the Col de Courre peaks at 1,720 meters above sea level.

It makes the junction between the paths that lead to Sancy, which continue in the Courre valley, which ridges leading to Mont-Dore or descending to Chastreix.
