South of the Chaîne des Puys, the Monts Dore massif reveals the alpine face of Auvergne. Here, ancient volcanoes have been carved by glaciers: cirques, ridges and valleys form a terrain both wild and harmonious. From the Chaudefour valley to the slopes of Sancy, the mountain blends rock, grass and water, in a lively and changing atmosphere — a four-season mountain, between snow, flowers, summer pastures and autumn mists.
Monts Dore is a high-altitude land where geology meets the four seasons: Sancy snows, spring waterfalls, summer pastures, autumn colors. A territory of pastures and cheeses, where the mountain shapes landscapes as much as flavors. A short or longer stay to discover a volcanic, sculpted and welcoming mountain, between glacial cirques and thermal springs.
