Chaudefour Valley

Highlight • Other

At the foot of the Puy de Sancy, at an altitude of 1886 meters and the highest point of the Massif Central, hides the most secret of the Auvergne valleys: the Chaudefour valley. It is also the most beautiful access route to this prestigious summit within the reach of any hiker. Hiking trail, waterfall and dizzying panoramas are on the program, as well as a nature reserve where you have every chance to see marmots, mouflons and chamois.

Voissières Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

The Voissière waterfall has its source in a small stream near Chambon des Neiges. It joins by the waterfall, the Couze de Chaudefour which then feeds the Lac Chambon. The waterfall remains mysterious, partly hidden by vegetation.

Access to the site:
From the town of Chambon sur Lac, take the D637 for about 2.5 km towards the Chaudefour Valley Nature Reserve. After the hamlet of Voissière on the road to the right is the waterfall. It is visible from the road. The path leading to the foot of the waterfall is quite narrow and covered with vegetation making it difficult to access.
