Highlight • Natural Monument

Be careful, dogs are not allowed in the reserve, too bad we would have liked to have been warned before setting off ...

We tend to believe that the Dent de la Rancune is this small peak hooked like a canine and looking like the Matterhorn. Well no, it's actually the block that stands to its right. It is a dyke, that is to say an old column of lava that erosion has uncovered from the ground. This is how this wall was erected, which makes climbers happy. It offers about forty routes, including one rated 8+. Notice to amateurs!

La cascade de la biche

Highlight • Waterfall

Nestled in the lush forests of Auvergne, the Cascade de la Biche is a hidden gem. This impressive waterfall cascades gracefully over moss-covered rocks surrounded by dense, verdant vegetation.
The waterfall is particularly impressive due to the unusual hexagonal-shaped rocks at its base, formed by ancient volcanic activity.

During a recent walk, I wrote in my notebook:

“We have just discovered a clearing with an inescapable charm. Lined with flowers that have withstood the summer or the herd, it offers a most pleasant plant bed to rest our bodies exhausted from the recent descent. The siesta will only be better”.
