View of the Puy de Dôme

Highlight • Summit

As you walk along the Gouris path, you will have a breathtaking view of the Puy de Dôme, one of the most iconic volcanoes in the Auvergne region. At over 1,400 metres, the Puy de Dôme dominates the horizon with its characteristic rounded shape. As you pass it, you are sometimes rewarded with a ring of mist around its summit on cold mornings, which creates a magical experience.

View of Puy de Dôme

Highlight • Viewpoint

This is one of the most beautiful viewpoints of the Puy de Dôme. Just a few meters from the official starting point of the Puy de Dôme tour, you have a very clear view of the king of the puys.

A short walk

Highlight • Other

Outing at the top of the varied and superb landscapes! Be careful however for outings at the end of winter: some sections are impassable because of mud, put on the studded tires of your gravel. Passages in the undergrowth on the last 15 km are complicated requiring you to carry the bike (fallen trees, difficult path...)

The small village of Laschamps, southwest of Clermont-Ferrand, is known, among other things, for the Laschamps geomagnetic event. The lava flows from the extinct volcanoes have provided evidence that the Earth's magnetic field reversed about 40,000 years ago. This phenomenon has also been demonstrated in other parts of the world. Very exciting!

Stretching over 45 kilometres in length, the Chaîne des Puys offers beautiful views when you stand at its feet. Here, you can see the symbol of the massif, the Puy de Dôme, rising up impressively.
