A pretty loop through a wooded landscape with fine views of the puys and the Sancy massif, which runs quietly alongside the Etang de Gasserot and leads to the Etang de Tyx (variant), renowned for its aquatic flora and fauna.
– Views of the Sancy massif and the Chaîne des Puys.
– Small heritage features: communal oven.
Étape 1 : Heading towards the church (view of the church), take the D551. As you leave Saint-Avit, take the first track on the left. Follow it through the Bois des Chaumes. Climb up to the D941 (view of the Sancy massif).
Étape 2 : Take the road to the right as far as the first houses in Le Guet. Take the first turning on the left into the hamlet. At the centre (communal oven), turn left and then down the first track on the right. Follow the road past a pond to the D13. Turn right and take the first woodland track on the right. After 1 km, turn left onto a gravel track as far as the D582.
Étape 3 : Continue straight ahead. Ignore the side tracks before crossing the D13 and continue on the track opposite. Drive alongside the Gasserot pond (view of the pond). Turn right at the fork. After a slight climb, descend towards the village. Take the tarmac road on the left through Tyx. Continue along the road (view of the Chaîne des Puys) to the starting point.
