Please note: the fountain is not always functional, especially after hot summers when the tablecloths are empty.

May 30, 2025,Puy de Dôme – Rundtour ab dem Col de Ceyssat

Today we hiked to the summit of Puy de Dôme. From up there, you have a fantastic view of other extinct volcanoes. It's truly worth seeing. Volvic water also comes from here.

Very nice rather easy hike which first bypasses the Puy de Dôme from the west before returning to the starting point via the summit. Be careful, however, of the climatic conditions which can change very suddenly. The chain of puys is the first barrier encountered by cold winds from the Atlantic, which means that the weather is similar to that …

The n°1 on all lists of must-sees in Auvergne. To be honest: the walk was a bit disappointing. The ascent is via a wide gravel road, largely between the trees, and the way back is along a wooden staircase. It is busy at the top, because you can also get there with a train.
But that sight... fe-no-me-nal.
