View of the Puy de Sancy

Highlight • Summit

From here, the view of the Puy de Sancy is breathtaking, ideal for a contemplative break during a hike. The summit you are observing is neither more nor less than the highest in the Massif Central. Surrounded by alpine valleys and steep ridges, the sunrises are particularly beautiful.
