Very nice hike. Some elevation gain but reasonable. Shaded 80% of the time. Small downside, the noise from the highway on certain portions of the path

The village of Massiac is part of the “Villages Etapes”, a network listing municipalities which offer passing visitors a multitude of shops and services in a pleasant setting. Bathed in an almost Mediterranean climate. The village is located in the heart of the Alagnon valley.

The Chapelle Sainte-Madeleine de Chalet has dominated Massiac on a rocky outcrop since the 12th century. The site is ideal for enjoying the view of the Allagnon valley.
