Col de Chamaroux

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The Cézallier is a volcanic plateau located between the Dore mountains and the Cantal mountains.
It is glaciers that planed this ancient volcanic massif, which takes you to Scotland and Mongolia, without you having to take a plane.

Upper Lake of La Godivelle

Highlight • Lake

The Godivelle lakes are very close but very different. The upper lake is a very deep crater lake (44 meters) which is not fed by any stream.

Conversely, the lower lake is a lake of glacial origin fed by streams and made up of peat bog.

La Godivelle

Highlight • Natural

La Godivelle is an extremely isolated village. With its large fountain, its church and its sublime landscapes, it is a town where it is good to stop.

Besse

Highlight • Settlement

Standing south of the historic center, the belfry of Besse is the only memory of the three old fortified gates of Besse.

Adorned with battlements and topped with a clock, the gate dates from the Hundred Years War.

The gate is an essential historic passage on the long-distance hiking trails that criss-cross the region.
