The Col de Guéry, located in the heart of the Auvergne region, offers a picturesque mountain pass experience amidst the volcanic landscapes of the Massif Central. At an altitude of approximately 1,267 metres, the pass offers stunning views of Lake Guéry below, the highest lake in Auvergne. The region is known for its tranquil beauty, with rolling meadows, dramatic volcanic peaks and forests that change colour with the seasons. Nearby Roche Sanadoire and Roche Tuilière add to the spectacular scenery, making it a perfect stop on your hike.

View of Roches Tuilière and Sanadoire

Highlight • Viewpoint

A great discovery by chance on a road of the passes planned towards Nice via Ventoux. First pass to stretch your legs. Easy with a plus at the end. A magnificent climb especially towards the end in parts with hairpin bends with this "sugar loaf" in sight...". Absolutely to do...

This emblematic pass of the Auvergne region is the Col de Guéry, located at an altitude of 1264 m. From here you will have a view of the Puy de Dôme and the Puy de Sancy, as well as the volcanic Lake Guéry at the top. The Col de Guéry was part of the 2020 Tour de France, so you can compete against the pros on this route.
