Short bike ride to the Col de la Croix Morand via the Col de l'Ouire and the Tuilière and Sanadoire rocks, a classic in the volcano park. Obligatory stop at the col lodge of course.

I love this route, alternating between elevation gain and loss. Superb landscapes.

Before embarking on the long trek, I decided to spend a day in Mont-Dore. I wanted to climb the Col de la Croix-Morand, which I'm particularly fond of. For a bit of variety, I combined it with the Col de Guéry, which I hadn't yet visited.
