July 3, 2025, Forest Trail from Puy de la Vache to La Cassière

Very varied hike, very nice, a little technical in places. A must-do.

This lake formed about 8,400 years ago is the result of a natural dam due to lava flows from the Puys de la Vache and Lassolas. It is a shallow lake. From here you have a very nice view of this body of water.

Nice trail between the Cassière and Aydat lakes, well signposted and accessible, without great difficulty. Pleasant segment in the forest on gravel and / or mountain biking

Surely one of the most beautiful descents in the park of the volcanoes. To ride without moderation
