Puy Mary Summit

Highlight • Summit

Despite an altitude of 1,783 meters, Puy Mary is not the highest peak in Cantal but it is undoubtedly the most famous. Classified as a “Grand Site de France”, and with an almost perfect pyramid shape, it is the vestige of the largest volcano in Europe with its 70 kilometers in diameter.

View of the Puy Mary ridgeline

Highlight • Other

The ridge taken by the GR4 and connecting Puy Mary to Puy Peyre-Arse is called "Les Fours de Peyre Arse". It offers magnificent views of the Impradine and Jordanne valleys.

Ridge line

Highlight • Viewpoint

On the crest line: it is a grassy and flat area, perfect for taking a break or bivouacking with the ringing of cowbells in the summer pasture in the background.

The view is splendid.

Cabre Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The Col de Cabre at an altitude of 1,526 meters allows you to pass from the Santoire valley to that of the Jordanne. It offers magnificent views of these valleys.

It is also crossed by the GR 4 and 400 (Tour of the Cantal mountains) from Puy Bataillouse to Puy de Peyre-Arse.

Puy Griou Summit

Highlight (Segment) • Summit

The last climb up to the summit is quite bumpy, but definitely manageable. In any case, the Puy is an imposing appearance.

Roland's Breach

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The Brèche de Roland is located on the long ridge that connects Puy Mary to Peyre-Arse.

Its name was given to it in reference to the breach of the same name in the Pyrenees.

This breach located at an altitude of 1,647 meters is a delicate passage of the GR 4. Made up of alternating ash beds and scoriaceous strata, it can become slippery in rainy weather.
