At an altitude of 1,588 meters, the Pas de Peyrol is located between the Puy Mary and the Puy de la Tourte. It is known to be the highest road pass in the Massif Central and is worth it, because the last few kilometers have high percentages. There you can admire Puy Mary which peaks at an altitude of 1,783 metres. It is one of the peaks of the Cantal mountains. It is easily recognizable with its pyramidal silhouette.
