Saint-Pierre-la-Bourlhonne

Highlight • Settlement

A mountain village nestled at the foot of Pierre-Sur-Hâute. It's a crossroads that provides access to the Béal and Chansert mountain passes. Built on the Forezian mountainside, this village is sure to charm visitors with its typical architecture. But above all, it's the natural splendors of the landscape surrounding this village that make it worth the detour.

Béal Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The striking beauty of the landscape between the Loire and Auvergne, the fresh air of the high altitude, the cuisine of the numerous Auberges in the vicinity, all the hiking and biking options... Everything make a perfect destination in this less known part of France.

Ascent to Col du Béal

Highlight • Mountain Pass

A steady, shaded climb through the Brugeron forest leads to the open, wild landscape of Hauts de Chaume, often swept by a strong breeze. More accessible than the St Pierre slope from a cycling perspective.
