Here is the first stage of a 4-day trek in the Sancy.
From Mont-Dore, the trail quickly leaves the town to reach the Grande Cascade. This is the highest in Auvergne with 32 meters.
The path then climbs to the Roc de Cuzeau (1,737 m) and the Puy des Crebasses (1,761 m), which are located on a ridge line overlooking the Mont-Dore valley and facing the Puy de Sancy. Magnificent landscapes.
The route continues overlooking the Chaudefour valley and its nature reserve, before reaching Chambon-sur-Lac to complete this first day.
