Highlight (Segment) • Climb

A very steep climb to the station. Those in a hurry can continue with the Col de la Geneste, to the West. Others will appreciate the local specialties in the resort.

Voissières Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

The Voissière waterfall has its source in a small stream near Chambon des Neiges. It joins by the waterfall, the Couze de Chaudefour which then feeds the Lac Chambon. The waterfall remains mysterious, partly hidden by vegetation.

Access to the site:
From the town of Chambon sur Lac, take the D637 for about 2.5 km towards the Chaudefour Valley Nature Reserve. After the hamlet of Voissière on the road to the right is the waterfall. It is visible from the road. The path leading to the foot of the waterfall is quite narrow and covered with vegetation making it difficult to access.

Saint-Nectaire

Highlight • Historical Site

Notre Dame du Mont Cornadore or Church of Saint-Nectaire is celebrated among other things for its treasure and its 103 capitals, in particular those of the choir forming one of the most remarkable sets of Romanesque sculpture in Auvergne.
These historiated capitals were like an open book offering the faithful a form of monumental catechism.
Saint-Nectaire is also well known for its cheese which takes the same name as the village. It is to my taste one of the best French cheeses.
