Chaudefour Valley

Highlight • Other

At the foot of the Puy de Sancy, at an altitude of 1886 meters and the highest point of the Massif Central, hides the most secret of the Auvergne valleys: the Chaudefour valley. It is also the most beautiful access route to this prestigious summit within the reach of any hiker. Hiking trail, waterfall and dizzying panoramas are on the program, as well as a nature reserve where you have every chance to see marmots, mouflons and chamois.

Vallée de Chaudefour

Highlight • Gorge

Forbidden to bicycles! You have to leave them at home at the entrance to the nature reserve and finish on foot, but it's worth the detour!

Col de la croix Saint-Robert

Highlight • Mountain Pass

This pass is long when you come from Besse, but it is in the last five kilometers that it takes on its true grandeur, especially if there is wind... The landscapes are never monotonous and damn, that the mountain is beautiful!
