Puy de Sancy
Highlight • Summit
300,000 years old when its neighbors in Cantal are 20 million years old, this stratovolcano has experienced relentless erosion. As a result, its flanks are notched and the circuses that surround it overflow with majesty. On the neighboring ridges, you can make out jagged rocks in the middle of grassy slopes.
Finally, when the sky is proudly clear, Mont Blanc stands out in the distance...
After its tough ascent, take the time to get drunk on this geological giant.
