Buron d'Eylac Refuge

Highlight • Mountain Hut

It is a stop where you can take water (brought to the site by volunteers) and see the internal architecture of an old buron.

It is possible to spend the night at the Buron d'Eylac (dormitory or possibility of pitching the tent for a small financial contribution) in a magnificent setting, near the Puy Mary.

During the winter, given the altitude (1,400 meters), access is only possible by snowshoes or cross-country skis from the Col de Serre (2.5 kilometers).

Pas de Peyrol Pass (1,589 m)

Highlight • Mountain Pass

At an altitude of 1,588 meters, Pas de Peyrol is located between Puy Mary and Puy de la Tourte. It is known to be the highest road pass in the Massif Central and is worth it, because the last few kilometers have high percentages. There you can admire Puy Mary, which peaks at an altitude of 1,783 meters. It is one of the peaks of the Cantal mountains. It is easily recognizable with its pyramidal silhouette.

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.
