July 13, 2022,Puy de Sancy - Col de l'enfer - GR4

The climb to Puy de Sancy was quite tough and that Col de l'enfer, the final part over the ridge, quite impressive. Recommended! Once upstairs there were also some people on baskets, because you can also get there with the cable lift...

While waiting for the Tour de France, a short walk around the Sancy. Very pretty scenery and somewhat challenging climbs 🥵

April 5, 2025,Boucle Puy de Sancy

First hike of the year! It's hard to get back into it with the snow still very present, which actually extends the expected duration (crampons were welcome).
But it's a huge pleasure and a wonderful reward when you discover the landscape from the top of Puy de Sancy. A magnificent 360°!
